•      "What they are really trying to do with this bill is make it harder for the military, for native americans, for women who've gotten married or divorced to register and vote. They're making it harder at the same time they are continuing to sow distrust in our elections ahead of November. They are doing a disservice to democracy when they bring these bills instead of a clear CR." Source: Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (Democrat, New Mexico, District 3)

•      "The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 9494, making continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2025, and for other purposes. Instead of working in a bipartisan manner to keep the Government open and provide emergency funding for disaster needs, House Republicans have chosen brinkmanship. This continuing resolution (CR) would place agencies at insufficiently low levels—both for defense and non-defense—for a full six months, rather than providing a short-term stopgap to provide the Congress more time to work on full-year bills. CRs are the antithesis to an effective government that serves the American people and should always be as short as possible to allow work on full year bills. This bill is especially irresponsible in matters of National Security as a 6-month CR would erode our military advantage relative to the People’s Republic of China, degrade readiness, and fail to provide the support our troops deserve. A CR ending March 28th also takes the Congress dangerously close to the deadline when across-the-board cuts would come into place next year, as dictated by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023."
