John,

Let’s set the record straight.

Republicans are in full control of the federal government — the House, the Senate, and the White House. But instead of doing their jobs, they’ve allowed the government to grind to a halt. This is their government shutdown.

Now, Donald Trump and Republicans are holding the government hostage to force through their extreme agenda. They’re not negotiating. They’re not compromising. They’re walking away from their responsibilities — while everyday Americans are paying the price.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

We need a budget that puts working people first — not billionaires, not special interests, not political games. But that won’t happen unless we speak up and demand it.

We must stand together to demand Republicans come to the table and negotiate a budget that works for all of us — not just Donald Trump and the wealthy few.

Republicans control every branch of government, and they’re using that power to deflect blame while avoiding the truth.

Without action, millions could lose health coverage. That’s unacceptable. This is about priorities — and we deserve leaders who prioritize people over politics.

Join us in demanding an end to this reckless shutdown and a fair budget that works for everyone — not just the privileged few.
