MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated?
McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on
MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

TAPPER: 1.4m people in Louisiana are on Medicaid. Is it your contention that if any of them lose benefits, it's bc they shouldn't have been receiving them?

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.
The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight
Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.
