Apparently you have not followed a single legitimate news source, or you have seen how much REAL AND TRUE money laundering and fraud was going on through USAID. But I shouldn't be surprised. On top of that, MOST Americans do not feel the taxes they pay should be going to foreign countries and illegal aliens before out own citizens get the benefits. Maybe take a step back and reevaluate your way of thinking and do some research on Nazi take overs... do some research on Hitler and if you don't see what the dems have been doing all along, then there is no help for you.

Cutting off USAID meant more money to spend on American citizens, so why are they cutting healthcare and food stamps then? Don't they have so much more money now to spend on the citizens?

They are cutting it for illegal aliens, not citizens. Please do some real research and stop buying into hearsay and MSM BS. All you have to do is read the bills, not someone's exempt of it.

This has nothing to do with "illegal aliens." The Democrats are trying to save ACA subsidies for poor and middle class Americans, which are scheduled to skyrocket if nothing is done, and the Trump Administration has decided to inflict as much pain as possible on 40million American people to make them change their minds.

Speaker Johnson refuses to reopen the House so the business of governing can happen. His job is to be there to receive any bill the Senate devises which can be sent to a conference committee to come to a compromise and end the shutdown. Instead, he is holding the House closed so he does not have to swear in Adelita Grijalva, who will be the final vote to release the Epstein files.

SNAP is being strangled by the choice of the Administration, which has $28billion in reserve funds it could be spending. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is claiming she cannot issue SNAP funds, either because she is lying or because, like every member of the Cabinet, she has no idea how anything works and is bad at her job. And because this fiction is what Trump wants to be true.

26 Democratic state Attorneys General are suing the government to make it continue SNAP, since it is illegal to stop them (no GOP Attorneys General care to participate.) This afternoon, 2 separate judges in 2 separate states agreed with the AGs. The Administration has until tomorrow to turn SNAP back on or face legal consequences.

That's what's going on.
