Wow. The Republican bill to force a default would:
Eliminate Pell Grants for 80k students & reduce grant funding for millions of others
Cause 300k children to lose access to Head Start and child care
Cut funding for 2k+ Border Agents, 11k FBI personnel, and hundreds of police

If the only representatives in our statehouses are privileged, older white men, it shows in their policy priorities. Diverse leadership is how we lift up every American community. It’s why the Democratic Party has better candidates and better policies. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
