WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) today released the following statement after presiding over Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s unanimous consent request to provide $2,000 survival checks for Americans.

“It is Christmas Eve. But it is not a silent night. All is not calm, and for too many, nothing is bright,” said Congresswoman Dingell. “Donald Trump doesn’t give a damn about people. He’s sowing fear and tossing kerosene on a fire. This morning, we gave House Republicans a chance to provide Americans with $2,000 survival checks this holiday season and they turned their backs. It was shameful behavior that would make Scrooge proud.”
