@alsobrooks.senate.gov Please make sure that you post any statements that you make on X to Bluesky, as well. I had to go to the bad place to see if you had made your decision public. Some of do not want to be there. Thanks!
Statement from Alsobrooks on X, Thursday afternoon 3/13/2025. I will be voting ‘No’ on cloture and on the Republican continuing resolution. A continuing resolution will allow President Trump to continue doing what he’s doing. Looting our government to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Conducting a witch hunt against our patriotic civil servants — people who work on behalf of our veterans, people who work on behalf of our students, people who work on behalf of our domestic violence survivors. Threatening to cut Social Security benefits, to cut Medicaid. Causing the markets to crash by starting a trade war with our allies that will raise prices on goods and impact the pocketbooks of everyday Americans. To allow the President to continue what he’s doing would be in direct contradiction with my mandate — to fight for Marylanders. We have a unique opportunity at this moment to course correct and pass a clean, bipartisan funding bill that would address some of these concerns and mistakes. That is what Marylanders need and deserve in this moment of chaos. Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. Whatever happens next is squarely on them.
