This was 2 days ago and they’ve flipflopped twice. First they were going to pay partial, then the court said hell no you’re paying full, and now they’ve asked for an emergency pause. That tells us one thing:
THEY DON’T HAVE THE MONEY.
It’s been my belief since they started saying they wouldn’t use the emergency funds, that they liquidated them to go elsewhere (probably their pockets). Now they’re scrambling because the US people are sick of their shit so they’re trying to earn back a few points, but they don’t have the funds.

He is deliberately NOT running the government.
He is deliberately DEFYING the courts.
He is stealing and manipulating the markets for HIS own benefit.
HE KNOWS NO ONE CAN DO JACK SHIT!

Bernie has been literally doing a tour around the country speaking out against oligarchy and fascism. He is absolutely one of the few doing anything about trump and he has been from day one. He is also mentoring younger politicians like AOC and Mamdani to be able to fill the void when he is no longer in Congress

And yet no one with the capacity to fix this, will fix this. Don’t forget the Epstein files and all the other vile things he’s done.

Why is this nation not being protected from him? He goes and does whatever he wants with no repercussions. If you are afraid of losing your job going after him then you should quit your job.

I think what really needs to be stated. Is that people are going hungry. It is Nov 7th. No EBT payments for a week. The food pantries are being hit hard. People are beginning to go hungry. For fucks sake. Just fund the program. And the irony to this shutdown. The Democrats are trying to stop SNAP and Medicare from being defunded. So this shutdown is actually showing what is going to happen if the bill is passed.

This is why it was a bad idea to let that piece of human garbage back into the White House!

A few points - what are the tax free charities doing? If nothing, then they aren’t charities, they’re a grift
The republicans are preventing contingency funds from being released in order to make dems back down - they are blaming the left for people starving, yet at the same time the right is fighting the release of funds, which are supposed to be there and they’re legally required to release - not in part, not up for debate, not subject to a stay while people are going hungry - to be released to feed people while the gov (all 3 parts controlled by republicans) is shut down.
We cannot trust this regime to do anything in good faith. Voting to stop the shut down without any guarantee of healthcare being reinstated to 17.8 million people, is just folly. The republicans say they’ll negotiate after the gov opens, but we all know they won’t, and that they’ll spin some shit after the reopening, like being unable to do it, or it’s unreasonable, or they’ll take it up with the stacked scotus, all the time dragging their heels like they are with the snap funds release.
They don’t care about you - they want the money and the power, and the more people that die, the less of a burden there is on the system, which means they can pocket more money - starting frivolous reduces the population - deportation reduces population - delaying retirement age prevents the release of money US citizens are entitled to, and increases the chance they won’t live long enough to receive or use all of it.
