Absurd GOP promises to negotiate on health care ONLY after the government reopens is like thieves promising not to rob homeowners as long as they unlock their doors. Don’t let Republicans rob millions of Americans of affordable health care through their disingenuous ploys.

USDA has contingency funds for food assistance. The GOP is refusing to release those funds — allowing American families to face hunger — yet paying contractors to demolish the East Wing for a gilded ballroom, and purchasing extravagant planes. What are we doing???

US taxpayers foot the $6M to fly generals to hear a pointless lecture by
Pete Hegseth, $230M to settle Trump’s lawsuit, $400M for private planes for Kristi Noem, and millions to send a $13B war ship to South America yet the GOP can’t locate the contingency funds for food stamps for hungry children.

The Republicans are trying to use food assistance as a cudgel against Democrats even though children will go hungry and there are ample contingency funds to cover the costs. Why send $20 billion to Argentina and $230 million to Trump? Lasting shame on Trump and the GOP. www.bbc.com/news/article...
