As Congress approaches another government funding deadline at the end of September, some Democrats are already drawing a line in the sand: Any spending bill that passes the Senate with Democratic support needs language preventing the Trump administration from undoing the legislation with another rescission bill.
“How can Democrats not insist on assurances from Republicans — that they won’t cut a deal, get the Democrats to vote for it, and then turn around and undo the deal?” Sen. Elizabeth Warren said this week.
She told NOTUS that if a bill didn’t include language blocking the money from being rescinded, “I don’t understand what Democrats would be voting for at that point.”
