This failure puts essential public services at risk—sanitation, public safety, health care, and more. It directly threatens our jobs. The Senate quickly passed a fix, the District of Columbia Local Funds Act, 2025 (S. 1077). President Donald Trump supports a quick fix, saying “The House should take up the D.C. funding ‘fix’ that the Senate has passed and get it done IMMEDIATELY.” Unfortunately, anti-worker extremists in the U.S. House have stalled the bill. Backed by billionaire interests, these Representatives want to extract concessions from our city before they will fix it, if they will fix it at all. These are our funds, and the fix won't cost the federal government 1 penny. If the House doesn’t fix this manufactured crisis, we will be fighting furloughs, service reductions, layoffs and more. And the impact to the city will be even more devastating. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-house-leadership-restore-dcs-budget-now
