Having served as PA House Appropriations majority and minority chair for 20 years, if a governor of EITHER party refused to spend appropriated funding, I'd insist on guarantees in the funding we pass into law.
Read my statement below on the current government funding negotiations:

It's outrageous Republicans would walk away from bipartisan negotiations to fund the government, raising the risk of a wider shutdown than we’re already enduring.
While co-President Trump says he won't "touch" Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security, he has already endorsed House Republicans "big, beautiful bill" that would lead to $880 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid.
I call BS.

CBS News polling shows a big difference between what Americans think President Trump ought to prioritize (inflation and the economy) and what they think he's prioritizing (the federal workforce, tariffs and the U.S.-Mexico border).
Ramadan Mubarak! I'm wishing everyone observing in Philadelphia and beyond a peaceful and reflective holy month.

Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov: "The world just watched the supposed leader of the free world throw a temper tantrum in the Oval Office, lashing out at a war-time President fighting for his nation’s survival..."
As co-Presidents Trump & Musk seek to shut down critical agencies, like the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, it's the American people who are being ripped off.
That's why I joined an amicus brief with over 200 of my House Democratic colleagues in defending hard-working families and consumers.

Republicans are walking away from negotiations to fund the government and raising the risk of a shutdown so they can keep trying to take away health insurance for children to give tax cuts to billionaires.

In contrast, House Democrats value our constituents & are fighting back against these illegal firings and extreme cuts.
If you have been impacted by the actions of President Trump, Elon Musk, & Congressional Republicans- I want to hear from you. Share your story here: evans.house.gov/story

I'm already hearing from constituents across #PA03, like those working in life-saving medical research labs or providing critical services to veterans, about how Trump's actions are impacting them.
I'm utterly disgusted by a House Republican leader calling them "sob stories." (1/2)
Social Security is an EARNED BENEFIT nearly 70 million Americans rely on. Any cuts to its workforce- let alone a mass firing of tens of thousands of employees- WILL BE A CUT to this critical service. (2/2)
Hey Co-President Trump: firing the workers who serve Social Security beneficiaries would count as “touching” Social Security, breaking your promise. (1/2)
Exactly. Democrats are fighting to PREVENT more government shutdowns. It will take more than just talk from the GOP- Republicans must work with us on legislation to protect the critical services & benefits hard-working Americans rely on.
In which Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who is up for reelection next year, compares DOGE to a government shutdown in its impacts on popular services

Looks like some Senate Republicans don’t like House Republicans’ huge cuts to Medicaid!
