Washington, D.C. – A government shutdown might sound like abstract words in Washington—but across America, the impact is painfully real and will continue to get worse. The Democrat-led shutdown is halting paychecks for our troops and federal law enforcement, furloughing and risking the jobs of federal employees, jeopardizing flood insurance and healthcare services, and cutting off nutrition support for low-income mothers and children in need.

Washington, D.C. – House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) joined Mornings with Maria on Fox Business to discuss the ongoing Democrat-led government shutdown. House Republicans acted to keep the government open weeks ago by passing a clean, nonpartisan funding extension. In contrast, Senate Democrats voted to shut it down and have since blocked every effort to reopen it for the American people.
