Over $200 MILLION! That’s how much grant funding we secured for MI-03 in 2024, and I can’t be prouder of the hard work Team Scholten put into getting funding for these essential projects. Check out more of our 2024 highlights here. scholten.house.gov/congresswoma...

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was harmful and wrong. Today, we celebrate 14 years since its repeal, which ensured LGBTQ+ service members could serve our country while being their truest selves. Let's keep pushing to guarantee equality for every American. #LoveIsLove

It is clear: House Republicans need @housedemocrats.bsky.social support to pass anything of importance.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govDec 20(source)

The House is about to vote on a Continuing Resolution with NO disastrous debt limit proposal - a vote Republicans could have called DAYS (WEEKS) ago instead of driving our government to the brink of shutting down at the whim of Trump and Musk. 🧵

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govDec 20(source)

The efforts to derail the will of the American people by a billionaire looking for a handout were based on lies and abuse of facts. We had a deal. Republicans broke that deal, but they can still save the day by honoring their word and voting on the bill we agreed to. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/u...

Assessing Elon Musk’s Criticisms of the Government Spending Deal

The world’s richest man posted or amplified inaccurate claims about the bill’s provisions for congressional salaries, a football stadium and biological research.

I’m here to work, but Republicans just sent us home for the night. The American people are counting on us. We have 48 hours left.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govDec 19(source)

Shutting the government down could cost the American taxpayer millions of dollars every single day, and a long-term shut downs have upwards of $1 billion in negative economic consequences.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govDec 19(source)

So, House Republicans are going to listen to billionaire-in-chief, Elon Musk, instead of keeping Americans fed, our borders secure, and our service members paid? Make it make sense! We’re here to get the job done, let us do it. 🧵
