The MAGA House and Senate GOP have returned for their final round before Election Day, and the American people deserve more than what they saw last time Congress was in session: chaos, infighting, and political gamesmanship designed to serve one man – Donald Trump — above the American people. This Congress, MAGA congressional Republicans’ tenure has been defined by what they’ve failed to do: work across the aisle to pass meaningful legislation to benefit the American people, including tanking safeguards for our reproductive freedoms and blocking the toughest, fairest bipartisan border deal in decades at Trump’s behest. Now that Congress is back in session, the American people deserve a straight answer from Trump’s MAGA minions in Congress on these questions: 

1. As a MAGA member of one of the least productive sessions of Congress in American history, will you finally give up the chaos and focus on passing legislation that would help the American people? 

ABC News: “118th Congress on track to become one of the least productive in US history”

Axios: “The 118th Congress is on track to be one of the most unproductive in modern history, with just a couple dozen laws on the books at the close of 2023, according to data from data analytics firm Quorum.”

Axios: “Republicans livid as chaos threatens to cannibalize House majority”

CBS News: “Rep. Mike Turner says there is a ‘chaos caucus’ who want to block any congressional action”

2. Do you stand by Donald Trump’s demands to kill the bipartisan border deal? Will you continue to block bipartisan legislation in an attempt to boost Donald Trump and Republicans politically if you’re reelected? 

Axios: “Trump, House Republicans plot to kill border deal”

Vox: “Trump made this clear when he reportedly urged Republicans in Congress to turn against the bipartisan Senate border security bill scheduled for a vote Wednesday so that he could keep the issue alive through the presidential election. His supporters have largely fallen in line.”

CNN: “Trump, who is hoping to make immigration a key plank of his presidential campaign, has suggested on Truth Social that approving additional resources for the border would make Republicans ‘look bad.’”

Rolling Stone: “Border Patrol Supports ‘Strong’ Immigration Deal. Republicans Don’t Care” 

Chuck Schumer: “The bill we are bringing up was designed to solve the problem and Republicans and Democrats labored together in good faith to get that done, and it would’ve gotten done had Donald Trump not said, ‘I don’t want this done. Blame it on me. I want chaos at the border so I can win reelection.’”

Trump: “Please blame it on me.”

Trump: “I think [Republicans] are making a terrible mistake if they vote for the bill.”

CNN: “The border compromise would represent a dramatic change of immigration law on lines many Republicans have long supported.”

3. How can you continue to claim you “support IVF” after you blocked the Right to IVF Act? 

Associated Press: “Senate Republicans block bill on women’s right to IVF as Democrats make push on reproductive care”

“Senate Republicans blocked legislation that would make it a right nationwide for women to access in vitro fertilization and other fertility treatments after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer forced a vote on the matter Thursday in an effort to drive an election-year contrast on reproductive care.”

“All Republicans except Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine voted against advancing the measure, ensuring that it only gained 48 votes — well short of the 60 votes needed.”

4. How can you continue to claim to be “pro-business” and “pro-family” after you blocked a bipartisan deal to expand the Child Tax Credit? 

NBC News: “Senate Republicans block bill to expand child tax credit”

“Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan bill Thursday on to expand the child tax credit and provide some tax breaks for businesses, all but sinking it for the rest of the year. The vote was 48-44, with the vast majority of GOP senators voting against it.” 

5. Will you continue to ignore the will of your constituents by using your seat in Congress to push Trump and other extremists’ out-of-touch agenda? 

House Majority PAC: “Recent HMP battleground polling shows that voters are starting to learn about Project 2025 and are extremely opposed to the Republican plan to raise taxes on the middle class, ban abortion, cut overtime pay, raise the retirement age, slash veterans benefits, and harm American families. In this polling, Project 2025 tops the list of negative statements tested.”

Center on Budget and Policy Priorities: “House Republican Agendas and Project 2025 Would Increase Poverty and Hardship, Drive Up the Uninsured Rate, and Disinvest From People, Communities, and the Economy”

“Over the last several months, groups of House Republicans and the Heritage Foundation have released policy agendas that, taken together, would create a harsher country with higher poverty and less opportunity, where millions of people would face higher costs for health care, child care, and housing, and millions more would lose health coverage — all while wealthy households and corporations benefit from an unfair tax code that provides them with outsized tax breaks. These skewed priorities would exacerbate inequities in income, wealth, health, and hardship across lines of race and ethnicity, widening already glaring differences that have their roots in racism and other forms of discrimination.”

Press Release, House Appropriations Committee Democrats: “MAGA Republicans’ Project 2025 Shapes Funding Bills”

“‘Like last year, the Republicans’ basket of awful ideas has no chance of becoming law, but their harmful policies are part of MAGA Republicans’ Project 2025 takeover plan that hurts the middle class and favors their billionaire donors. At every turn, the Republicans are making abortion illegal, eliminating federal support for public education, undermining workers, and disarming America in the face of the climate crisis. Their policies make communities less safe and threaten national security. House Democrats will not support these funding bills that harm children, working families, seniors, and veterans,’ said Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03), Appropriations Committee Ranking Member.”
