Statement FROM Congressman JOE Morelle on House Republicans’ Spending BILL

Image March 11, 2025 Press Release (Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the below statement following the passage of the Republican-led spending bill: “House Republicans have rammed through a partisan spending bill that hands President Trump unchecked power to slash essential programs, forcing devastating cuts Americans fear. “Ignoring their responsibility to craft a budget that meets the needs of working families, House Republicans have given Trump a green light to gut veterans’ services, slash Social Security retirement benefits, and strip healthcare from seniors and children—all to fund massive tax breaks to his billionaire friends. “This isn’t just fiscally reckless—it’s a direct attack on the well-being of everyday Americans. It’s chaos by design, perfectly aligned with the President’s brand: Trump and his friends first, working families last.” ###
