Republicans just shut down the government to fire federal employees and stop affordable healthcare.
John,
Here’s a quick fact-check on the government shutdown:
- FACT: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House — a full MAGA government trifecta.
- FACT: With near-unlimited power, Republicans chose to rip health care away and spike insurance costs for millions to fund tax breaks for billionaires — and now they’re choosing to shut down the government.
- FACT: This government shutdown is 100% the responsibility of Trump and MAGA Republicans — no one else.
- FACT: Dems had a simple plan to keep the government open and protect people’s healthcare — and Trump called it “ridiculous.”
- FACT: Republicans never wanted a deal — they engineered this shutdown. Speaker Johnson cancelled the last working days in the House before the deadline, making it literally impossible to pass a deal — all so Trump can fire more federal employees and “cut a lot of the people that… we’re able to cut on a permanent basis.”
- FACT: Republican lawmakers are getting paid — while TSA agents, public health workers, military families, and more worry about paying bills and affording groceries.
You know we’re not afraid to call out Democrats. But the truth is the truth — this government shutdown is 100% Trump and Congressional Republicans’ fault.
There’s a lot of misinformation going around blaming Dems for the shutdown. It’s a symptom of a larger problem: Progressives are struggling to break through the noise and get the truth out there.
