Today, Groundwork Collaborative’s Chief of Policy and Advocacy Alex Jacquez shared the following statement after Senate Republicans voted to approve the Trump administration’s rescissions package, clawing back funding from critical federal programs:
“With this vote, Senate Republicans are telling us everything we need to know about their priorities.
After passing a tax law that gives a massive giveaway to billionaires and raises costs on working families, Senate Republicans are now codifying DOGE’s deeply unpopular and reckless cuts to vital programs.
Once again, Republicans are failing to deliver on the one thing they promised: lower prices.
Instead, they’re waging a campaign that will make life more expensive and difficult for working families while lining the pockets of the wealthy.”
