On Senate Floor, Elizabeth Warren

On Senate Floor, Warren Opposes House Republicans “Non-Starter” Budget Proposal
Floor Remarks as Prepared on Republican Shutdown Bill
U.S. Senate
March 11, 2025

Senator Elizabeth Warren: Donald Trump and co-president Elon Musk are shutting down the federal government, piece by piece.

Shutting down the agency that stops banks and payday lenders from cheating working people.

Shutting down children’s cancer research.

Shutting down key parts of the Department of Transportation agency responsible for keeping people safe when flying in airplanes.

Even shutting down parts of the Social Security Administration.

And now, Republicans in Congress are laying out their blueprint to shut down the entire federal government.

A budget is a reflection of our values. This proposal makes crystal clear where Republicans’ values lie. After months of bipartisan talks, they’re walking away from the negotiating table and offering a non-starter House bill that forces us to the brink of a full government shutdown.

We can only hope all of your Democratic Senate colleagues have a fraction of the integrity you have always shown.

There are a lot of them fighting for us, we the people. Not all of them need adoring crowds to do the people's work.

The question is whether it will be a PERMANENT shutdown leading to dictatorship, or whether it is a tactical shutdown in order to try to PREVENT dictatorship.

So go ahead, Dems. You can't shut down a government that's already been shut down by Mr. MAGAt. You have nothing to lose.

yes, thank you senator warren. democrats are terrified of being called liberals and socialists by nazis. how screwed up is that? we need to become more and more aggresive in defense of our democracy and the attacks on it by der furor and his followers.
