REPUBLICAN CR VOTE IS SHAMEFUL

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 45 (Tuesday, March 11, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 45 (Tuesday, March 11, 2025)] [House] [Page H1129] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] REPUBLICAN CR VOTE IS SHAMEFUL (Ms. DEXTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. DEXTER. Mr. Speaker, what happened today is disgraceful. House Republicans have abandoned working Americans. They are taking housing and food from our seniors, children, and families. They have abandoned our veterans, the people who have bled for our country so that we can be free. They have given this administration and its illegitimate mercenaries free license to gut agencies and services. Mr. Speaker, make no mistake, the vote the Republicans took today is a shameful turn for this body. In the words of Donzaleigh Abernathy, the daughter of Reverend Ralph Abernathy, best friend to Martin Luther King and a civil rights leader: We will not go quietly into this reality. The American people want you to fight back, fight on, and stand strong for truth, justice, and equality for all. Mr. Speaker, I say to Donzaleigh and Oregon that I will continue to fight, and I hope they will stay with me in this fight. ____________________
