We knew this would happen so the people put the pressure on Dems to cave. Its BS. Trump is a menace.

Republicans have the votes they own the House and Senate. Dems don't have to do a dam thing and if they do they are fools.

Senate GOP approved $1 billion so Trump can renovate hand-me-down Qatari 747

But they can't get their shit together to pay our troops during #TrumpShutDown

Whatever. If they think any of this has shock value anymore they need to rethink. DOGE is already a widely acknowledged failure if not laughing stock so Vought can continue acting like Temu Voldemort. We don’t care.

This is probably the best way to deal with this regime. Half the stuff they do is to get a rise out of people. Mocking, taunting and giving zero Fs!

Glad they’re not paying troops to terrorize civilians.

If he's handling civil stuff, probably. If criminal, probably not.

How will RIF employees be notified? We can’t access our email at my agency.

If they cared about anyone other than illegals we wouldn’t be shutdown.

If you had half a brain and didn’t just rely on sound bites, you would under understand how utterly ridiculous that statement is.
