There’s something called the Antideficiency Act, which basically says the government can only spend money that Congress has authorized. I have some questions about how the Administration is arbitrarily picking and choosing which agencies to reopen in the middle of the shutdown.
One year after the deadliest mass shooting in American history, Congress has done nothing. We need to strengthen background checks, but frankly that’s not enough. Today I’m sponsoring legislation to ban the assault weapons used in Las Vegas, Parkland, and other mass shootings.
Congress can and must stand up to the President and reject this assault on our federal workers by passing the 1.9 percent pay raise that the Senate approved on August 1.
