LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S RECKLESS RESCISSIONS PACKAGE
Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:
Donald Trump and House Republicans promised to lower the cost of living on day one, but have instead spent their time illegally stealing taxpayer money in order to enact massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors. These cuts have devastated children, families, seniors, veterans, healthcare, law enforcement and undermined America’s global leadership. The reckless rescissions package introduced today is only the latest attempt by the Trump administration to attack the free press, decimate lifesaving humanitarian aid and hurt our national security.
House Democrats will continue to aggressively push back on the continued chaos, cruelty and corruption of this administration and on the far-right extremism being unleashed on the American people.
