House Republicans unveil bill to avoid shutdown and they’re daring Democrats to oppose it

 House Republicans unveiled a spending bill Saturday that would keep federal agencies funded through Sept. 30, pushing ahead with a go-it-alone strategy that seems certain to spark a major confrontation with Democrats over the contours of government spending. The 99-page bill would provide a slight boost to defense programs while trimming nondefense programs below 2024 budget year levels.

The rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in the United States is more than just a political talking point—it’s a direct attack on Black progress, says Maurice Mitchell, national director of the Working Families Party (WFP). Mitchell got his start in activism in college at Howard University, after a classmate was killed by law enforcement officers, a tragedy which inspired him to organize against police brutality. He continued to build up his organizing skills in the era of […]
