🟥 See all those red districts? These counties rely heavily on federal assistance, but yet vote for Republicans, who want to cut their federal assistance.

Why do they vote against their own interest???

They are all parroting this bullshit line in lockstep. I know, because CO-3 Rep Jeff Turd repeated it verbatim in his email newsletter. Oh sorry I mean Jeff Hurd

Are these shutdown attacks on Democrats from the White House and federal agencies against the law?

YES, because of the Hatch Act. Learn more about the act, and how the Trump administration is violating it!
