My take on the Bipartisan Budget Agreement

The Republican Party let America down. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ [Nikema for Congress]( {NAME}, here's why I voted no. In my work, I always center our most marginalized communities in my decision-making process. These communities that far too often get overlooked and left behind look to me to protect their lifelines. The Republican Party let America down by holding the lives of poor people as a bargaining chip when negotiating their Bipartisan Budget Agreement. This bill adds work requirements for food assistance recipients, limits our ability to pause student loan repayments, and so much more. I could not vote for a bill that would leave more people hungry or barred from the income support they so desperately need. House Democrats worked diligently to put people over politics and reach a budget deal to avoid a catastrophic default. We cannot allow the Republican Party to use the full faith and credit of the United States as a weapon and poor people as a bargaining chip under the guise of saving a few dollars.
