Here are the SIMPLE FACTS about the Democrat Shutdown: 1️⃣ Democrat votes are REQUIRED to reopen the government. 2️⃣ Democrats have voted 13 TIMES to keep it closed. 3️⃣ Democrats refuse to fund the government unless we restore- $200 BILLION in health benefits for illegal aliens, BILLIONS for foreign... projects, $500 MILLION for leftist media outlets, and huge CUTS to rural hospitals. 4️⃣ Democrats ADMIT they’re using the pain and suffering of the American people as “leverage,” while boasting that “every day gets better” for them. 🚨🚨Democrats are doing this to appease their far Left Marxist base —because they are more afraid of THEM than the American people.show more

Here are the SIMPLE FACTS about the Republican Shutdown: 1️⃣ Republicans control everything — and still can’t govern. They hold the White House, the House, and the Senate. When one party runs the entire government and it grinds to a halt, there’s no one else to blame. As one Republican once said: “The president needs to get a deal.” 2️⃣ Republicans don’t even have their own team together. They need 60 Senate votes to pass their own bill — and they can’t even get 55. This isn’t a Democratic blockade. It’s a Republican meltdown. 3️⃣ Republicans are lying about “healthcare for illegal aliens.” That claim has been debunked by every major fact-checker: AP, NPR, PBS, KFF Health News, and Georgetown University. ➡️ Undocumented immigrants do not — and never have — received Medicaid or ACA subsidies. What Democrats are fighting for: * Affordable coverage for 24 million American citizens whose premiums will skyrocket. * Restoring coverage for lawfully present immigrants — refugees, asylum seekers, and DACA recipients — that Republicans stripped away. * Protecting Medicaid from nearly $1 trillion in GOP cuts that hit veterans, seniors, and families. 4️⃣ Republicans are using the shutdown as political revenge. They’ve frozen $26 billion in infrastructure and climate funding — targeting mostly blue states — while threatening SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans and putting thousands of federal workers out of a job. This isn’t fiscal discipline. It’s extortion. 5️⃣ Republicans admit their own message is collapsing. Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters the GOP’s talking points are “getting old.” Meanwhile, the House remains on vacation while families go without paychecks and critical services shut down. 6️⃣ Polls show America knows who’s at fault. Every major poll says the same thing: Voters blame Republicans more. Even conservatives admit it. Because when you control everything and still fail to lead — you own the chaos. 7️⃣ Here’s what Democrats are fighting for: ✅ Keeping health insurance affordable for working families. ✅ Restoring funding for hospitals and public health. ✅ Stopping the GOP from weaponizing the shutdown to punish blue states. 🚨🚨 This is a Republican Shutdown — built on lies, cruelty, and political theater. When you cut healthcare, freeze aid, and hold the country hostage to please your donors, you don’t deserve to govern. The Receipts

#TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Republicans can use the nuclear option to reopen the government. Republicans can tap into strategic reserves to fund SNAP. Instead, Republicans have decided to starve Americans.

Here are the facts. You are a LIAR. You have the majority. You can negotiate but you choose not to, even though that IS how it works, since we had a US Government. You change the rules to your liking. You work for a FELON and hide his crimes along with your own. You are FAKE. You are NOT a Christian. Anything else? Fk U then! #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

Why can’t Americans have the same healthcare we are paying for Congress to have?

Have you sworn in the dem rep that won her special election yet so we can expose all the pedophiles you're trying to protect?

Don't forget the $2.3 million for insects in Africa!

FACT CHECK: (fact checker's head exploded)

Agree to extend the ACA and prevent a 75% jump in insurance premiums, and the government could reopen today. Also, call the House back into session and stop blocking USDA backup funds for SNAP... millions of your voters rely on it.

#RepublicanShutdown

Fact check Mike Johnson on #3️⃣ claim above. Chat GPT: “The statement is mostly false/misleading. Johnson’s post strings together a mix of incorrect numbers and loaded descriptions. The best evidence shows Democrats were pressing to extend ACA subsidies, undo Medicaid reductions, and restore CPB funding—not to spend “$200B for illegal aliens,” funnel “$500M to leftist media,” or “slash rural hospitals.”

Here's the simple fact about the shutdown. Previously presidents have gotten the 2 sides together and led negotiations to get issues resolved. But Trump is so arrogant and weak that he won't do that because if he can't get his exact way, he takes his toys and leaves. Blame Trump!

even NBC gets it

Oh please. The only “simple fact” here is that Republicans shut down the government themselves and then left town for a month while federal workers went unpaid. Democrats already voted to reopen it. The GOP won’t, because they’re too busy inventing fake budget lines like “$500 million for leftist media.” Maybe if Johnson spent less time performing for MAGA radio and more time governing, America wouldn’t be stuck in this mess.

No Mike, you’re just Donald’s little bitch.

Republicans can reopen the government in a hour, via the nuclear option. The same method they used just three weeks ago to ram through Trump appointments. They won't because Donald Trump wants the government shutdown, just like in 2019

Democrats are about to get a lot more motivated.

THE TRUTH IS TRUMP DOES NOT WANT TO END THE SHUTDOWN. It's more than just the Epstein files. TRUMP IS SPENDING TAXPAYERS' $ LIKE IT'S HIS OWN PERSONAL ACCT. WHY WOULD HE WANT CONGRESS BACK IN SESSION? HE HAS EVERYTHING HE NEEDS NOW. And he does NOT care about the people.

First republicans gaslight everyone they have such a mandate and now they suddenly need Dems despite being ordered not to negotiate with them. And why has speaker Johnson closed the House for over a month? What does that have to do with Trump’s shutdown

Democrats shut down the government because they hate Americans and love illegals.

Republicans need to negotiate. That is how it works. You are hired to govern, but Republicans only want to rule. This is an age old problem. Negotiate, or resign. Simple as that Mike. That goes for all of you.

Illegal aliens do not qualify for medicare, medicaid, or the ACA. You're bitching about a Reagan era law that keeps hospitals from denying emergency care to people who need it.
