"After months of Republican delays, it is now time for the Appropriations Committees to write final funding bills. House Republicans wasted the entire first extension of federal funding, and most of the second, arguing over 2024 funding levels they agreed to last June. Today's announcement adheres to the $1.659 trillion total they previously agreed to and voted for.

I am infuriated that it includes cuts to the Internal Revenue Service that only benefit tax cheats and cuts to COVID and public health funds -- cuts I opposed.

Democrats will not accept any Republican poison pill policy changes."
