Our military took at oath to this country, not to a king wanna-be.

I’m guessing the republicans are buying time so they can figure out their next move to evade justice and Epstein files. There is a plan in the works here. You know there is. 🤨

During the shutdown, the program can’t underwrite new policies — impacting thousands of homebuyers in flood-prone areas.

House GOP leaders won’t exempt flood insurance from shutdown

The top two Republicans represent a state reliant on the now-dormant federal program. But Republicans insist it’s up to Senate Democrats to open it back up.

The program is currently very low on funds, operating mostly on a contingency fund of $150 million, which is nearly depleted, as the shutdown continues.

From @the74.bsky.social:

For families who rely on WIC funding, the government shutdown is deepening uncertainty

The program that provides essential aid for women, infants and young children is in jeopardy as shutdown continues.
