House Republicans Disarm the United States in the Face of the Climate Crisis and Slash Funds for Clean Water and National Parks

Press Release

Date: Nov. 3, 2023
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

"In less than three weeks, the federal government will once again be on the brink of catastrophe thanks to Republicans' refusal to negotiate with Democrats and the Senate on a full Appropriations package. Instead, House Republicans are wasting time on bills that violate the terms of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. The harmful Interior appropriations bill Republicans passed tonight completely debilitates America's ability to address the climate crisis and hobbles the agencies within its jurisdiction. The majority of Americans support becoming carbon neutral by 2050 and they support prioritizing the development of renewable energy sources and preserving biodiversity for the benefit of future generations. The austere and irresponsible cuts in this bill do not align with American values."
