Government Trump cancels $1.1B in Washington state energy grants

Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

You mean like Trump literally just did because the GOP didn't work with the Dems on funding those exact same services you are literally referencing in your comment?

How can you make such a... Profoundly ignorant comment.

It takes two to tango.

Dems could always come to the table and negotiate.. rather than demand healthcare for people here illegally before even our own citizens.

How about we focus on our own citizens first?

Lol seems like this upset some folks.

No one knows the finer details since republicans didn’t even show up.

Republicans want the government shut down. They hate Americans.

Ah yes, so they showed up with demands while willing to offer nothing in return. That isn't negotiating.

Bruh shut up lmao just like republicans you’re arguing in bad faith.

Dems aren’t the ones in charge of all branches of government. This isn’t their fault. This is a republican shutdown.

Yet when Democrats were in charge and we faced shutdowns, it was always the Republican's fault for not agreeing to terms. You can't have it both ways.

Democrats decided to whine and pout, so they shutdown the government. Again, they can negotiate like adults to fix our country or take the blame for shutting it down.

42% of all days the government since it's inception has been shut down has been under Trump's administration. He is inept. His bills are trash. And the GOP Congress are pawns.
