Mike Thompson (CA-04) released the following statement on the on the passage of the Republican Funding Bill: "Congress’ job isn’t to write a blank check to the President. Our job is to pass a bill that directs the President to fund the services and priorities that matter most to the American people. "Today, Republicans voted to hand the President and Elon Musk a blank check, freeing them to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and veterans’ benefits.
