Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) took to the Senate floor on Wednesday morning to call out Senate Republicans for helping President Donald Trump and the White House snatch away Congress’ power of the purse.
And, given that the Trump administration has so fully robbed Congress of its authority to make spending decisions, Warren expressed her opposition to participating in the appropriations process — the historically bipartisan, mammoth undertaking Congress attempts every year to compile the federal government’s budget for the next fiscal year — arguing that Democrats can’t trust Republicans and Trump to uphold any bipartisan government funding agreement.
