Congressional Black Caucus members condemn spending bill as ‘blank check’ for Trump, Musk
The Hill ^ | 03/14/2025 | Cheyanne M. Daniels

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have condemned the House-passed spending bill and vowed to vote against it when it comes up in the Senate, even as other Democrats say they’ll support it to avert a government shutdown.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) accused Republicans of passing “draconian” policies, and called on Senate Democrats to take a stance against the budget.

“We’re facing a hostile government takeover and @SenateDems can do something about it,” Pressley, who opposed the continuing resolution, wrote on social media Friday. “The Trump-Musk spending bill will make our constituents hungrier, sicker, and poorer. Listen to your constituents. Do not cede your leverage. Hold the line.”

Speaking to Wolf Blitzer on CNN, Pressley added that constituents are “afraid” and said Democrats in the upper chamber should not be “complicit.”

The “Congressional Black Caucus” is an embarrassment. Every member should be voted out of the House on grounds that they aren’t representing their full constituency.

Well... Shucks... I guess if the Congressional Black Caucus would like some more $$$$, I understand that the Black Lives Matter organization has collected quite a few $$$$. I am sure that BLM would be willing to share, especially since the Black Caucus is, well, Black.

Ohhhhhhh.....wait a minute. I seem to remember that some very nice mansions were purchased with the BLM $$$$. Perhaps the Congressional Black Caucus members could ask for a nice room in one of those mansions.

That was my first thought as well.

In the site of The Hill, there is another story about hair discrimination. They want FEDERAL PROTECTION for hair styles.
