Why Johnson won’t negotiate:
Republicans Project 2025 playbook: Privatize Healthcare.

How to do it: Let ACA subsidies end. Cost for healthcare soars. Private, FOR-PROFIT insurers swoop in offering initial lower rate.

For-profit CEOs decide what healthcare is necessary. The wealthy get wealthier.

Oct. 10/25-
Sec. Scott Bessent announced the U.S. has begun implementing parts of a $20 billion bailout for Argentina.

Trump won’t use taxpayers money to improve the lives of Americans but he is willing to use the money to help out a fellow far-right president—Argentina’s President Javier Milei.

Good point. They are working without pay. They will receive back pay.

The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 (Trump signed)mandates that all federal employees, including excepted and furloughed workers, receive back pay for the period of the shutdown once a funding agreement is reached.

FEMA is operating during the current government shutdown.
Trump made changes to what gov. agencies track and report about climate change related disasters. Resulting in a lack of communication from the government concerning disasters caused by climate change.

No comments from federal agencies because Trump doesn’t want taxpayers dollars that he now considers his, to be used for anything that doesn’t benefit him.

If it’s not in the news, whose to know?

Remember when the time comes, and it will, Congressional Republicans gave thumbs up to selling America. Show no leniency.

Trump has been very upfront about his disdain for U.S. military personnel. He doesn’t care if military families have food on the table.

Trump’s memory is fading fast:

After the longest government shutdown in 2019, Trump signed into law the legislation to ensure federal workers receive back pay during any federal funding lapse.

Est.$28 billion 2018/19 Farmers bailout.
Farmers 1st vote for Trump.

Farmers voted Trump in 2020.
2nd vote for Trump.

Knowing the effect tariffs would have farmers voted for Trump a 3rd time.

Those that didn’t vote Trump are facing the consequences of the farmers vote. Farmers should too.
