Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are dragging this shutdown into one of the longest in history — at the expense of people’s access to food, health care, and stability. Their ongoing attacks on programs that keep our communities alive and healthy make one thing clear: this isn’t fiscal responsibility — it’s cruelty.
After cutting funding for HIV prevention, mental health, and Medicaid, the Trump administration and its MAGA allies are once again targeting the programs millions rely on to survive. Instead of using contingency funding, the Trump Administration is cutting off food assistance to more than 42 million people. They control the White House and both chambers of Congress — and they alone are responsible for this shutdown.
Our communities will not stand by as they assault our most basic needs and human rights. Every day this shutdown continues, people are being forced to choose between their health care, their food, and their livelihoods.
It’s time to demand that congressional Republicans stop playing politics with our lives — and deliver a government that protects and provides for its people.
