Chairwoman Crystal Gayden Thanks Congressional Democrats for Standing Against Trump’s Budget
“Tarrant County Democratic Party would like to thank Tarrant Democratic Congressional representatives Marc Veasey and Jasmine Crockett for holding the line and voting no on Trump and Republicans’ budget.
This disaster of a budget bill codifies and deepens cuts to crucial programs like federal Head Start childcare support for low-income, working families. It decimates the city of DC’s budget, inevitably leading to massive teacher and school layoffs. Simultaneously, it boosts military spending and completely hands over Congress’s power to rein in Trump’s disastrous tariffs currently wrecking the economy. In essence, it cedes more Congressional power to an erratic, irresponsible president.
While Republicans own this bill and its consequences for the American people (all Tarrant Republican House members voted in favor), a small number of Senate Democrats could not find the political courage to resist. They are refusing to filibuster the bill.
We appreciate Jasmine Crockett and Marc Veasey’s courage and wisdom in doing the right thing.
Enough is enough. No Democratic votes, no Democratic help for the dismantling of the federal government.”
