After dragging us through weeks of chaos and uncertainty, Mike Johnson still has no plan for funding the government. Republicans don’t care about keeping the government open, they just want to exploit our divisions for cynical, personal and political gain.

Thousands of seniors and students would lose access to critical nutrition programs; students would lose access to student aid, loan programs and Head Start programs; flights could be delayed across the country; food safety and waste site inspections would halt; military members would be forced to work without pay; federal employees could miss paychecks and so much more.
