David Cay Johnston reminds us that shutdowns aren’t political theater — they are real disruption. Workers, communities, public services all feel the sting.

"Not a single Democrat has talked about wanting to fund care for people in the United States unlawfully. Instead, what Democrats have said is they want to undo Medicaid cuts projected to leave nearly 10 million Americans uninsured." A smidge different.
The Republican Shutdown Argument is a Giant Lie
No, Democrats aren’t trying to fund health care for “illegal aliens.”

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary
@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

The Senate may soon take up legislation that’s poised to cement a massive deregulatory giveaway to crypto billionaires.

This weekend, there are Trump Shutdown protests planned around the country. We must turn up the pressure on Republicans for refusing to negotiate with Democrats and lower healthcare costs for our families. Join a local event to demand that Congress make healthcare affordable for our families.
