Republicans Shut Down Government

When he could have been showing us "The Art of the Deal," Trump was attacking Democrats with racist AI videos.

Trump started the day Tuesday by declaring war on American cities. He ended it by attacking the entire country.

As the clock struck midnight on September 30, Donald Trump and the Republican Party chose to shut down the U.S. government, causing chaos and hardship for millions of workers, low-income families, seniors, and veterans.

Among the hardest hit will be essential federal employees — including active-duty troops, TSA officers and air traffic controllers — who will now be expected to work without pay until further notice.

Trump, the ridiculous con artist who pretended he wrote "The Art of The Deal," has shown yet again how useless he is at closing deals with anyone he can't simply bully into submission.

After Trump and the GOP passed the "Big Beautiful Bill" without a single vote from Democrats, Republicans passed a partisan rescissions package in July that showed they "can't be trusted to stand up for bipartisan funding agreements."

Instead of negotiating in good faith to avoid the shutdown, the Trump Administration simply lied about what Democrats were demanding.

On Monday night, Trump showed how unseriously he was taking the dealmaking process when he "posted a vulgar AI-generated deepfake video" featuring Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just hours after he hosted the two for an Oval Office meeting.

Who gets hurt when Trump and the GOP behave like clowns with no interest in serving the American people?

Everyone except the 1% they live to serve.
