Moulton Votes ‘No’ on Republican Reconciliation Resolution

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) issued the following statement regarding his decision to vote 'No' on Republican Reconciliation Resolution:

The resolution provides the legislative instructions for a "Reconciliation 2.0" package, which proposes funneling at least $70 billion in additional funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

"This resolution isn't about fiscal responsibility; it's about political theater at the expense of American families.

"By choosing to prioritize a $70 billion blank check for ICE and CBP without a single shred of oversight or reform, Republicans are showing exactly where their loyalties lie. They would rather fund masked thugs in the street than ensure hardworking Americans can afford their doctors.

"When Democrats held the gavel, we used reconciliation to pass the American Rescue Plan, a lifeline that pulled our economy back from the brink and supported middle-class families.

"Today, Republicans are using that same mechanism to strip away ACA subsidies and gut healthcare access. I cannot in good conscience vote for a budget that treats healthcare as a luxury and accountability as an afterthought."
