Rent is already too high.
The cost of food and medical care is skyrocketing, driven by Trump’s reckless tariffs and Republican tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. And now: a government shutdown. Let’s be clear: This shutdown is 100% on Trump and his weak-minded Republican allies in Congress.
Here’s what a shutdown means for our country: - 550,000–750,000 workers furloughed, with many at risk of losing their jobs permanently under this administration’s reduction-in-force agenda.
- 1.5 million workers forced to work without pay, waiting for who knows how long for back pay.
- Zero real solutions in sight.
Meanwhile: - During a shutdown, presidential budgetary power actually expands.
- The President and Members of Congress
still get paid unless they choose not to accept their checks.
- Families across America are left wrestling with uncertainty.
This shutdown doesn’t help everyday people; it only hurts them. While Trump and Congress play politics, workers are left holding the bag. Families are suffering enough already.
We need a Congress that prioritizes people over politics and a government that actually works, not one that leaves our workers and communities behind.
