Democrats just voted to
continue their government shutdown for illegals, but they have already lost
three votes. The dam is breaking within the Democrat party:
- Senator
Ruben Gallego (AZ)
lost it when Rep. Jared Golden (ME) accused Democrats of
caving to the far-left: "That's BS!"
- Nancy Pelosi had
a total meltdown when asked if AOC was directing the shutdown:
"She is not directing this...Hakeem Jeffries is!"
- Senator
Jeanne Shaheen (NH)
falsely claimed no one in her Party has said illegals should
get taxpayer-funded healthcare and was immediately debunked.
- Rep.
Adam Smith (WA)
admitted Democrats want Americans to pay for healthcare for illegals.
- Rep.
Jim Himes (CT)
said that Democrats should forfeit their pay during their shutdown, but
they are still collecting checks.
Democrats may feel no impact
from their shutdown for illegals, but everyday Americans do:
- Arizona:
Tribes are at risk of losing critical resources like healthcare services
- Florida:
$1.8 million in flood insurance HAULTED during Hurricane season
- Georgia:
A veteran says, "It's really a tough time... it's impacting not
only just average people, but my fellow veterans... and we're so close
to the holidays and we're talking about people's livelihoods."
- An
Atlanta TSA
Officer: “Most TSA officers live paycheck to paycheck … where am I
going to get the gas to put in my car to come to work, or how do I feed
my family, or how do I buy diapers?”
- Georgia resident
Gary Carney was turned away from an Atlanta Social Security office:
"Y'all got me fired up and mad...What are we supposed to do?"
- Illinois:
A tourist who couldn't get into a state park says, “I just wish they
would do their job. We’re paying a lot of money for taxes."
- Maine:
Government shutdown could have major impacts on Mainers
- Maryland:
A federal worker is waiting to get back to work: "As a country, no
one likes seeing a shutdown."
- Michigan "faces

- Minnesota:
“Members showed up to work at the Bloomington National Guard Armory…
even though they’re not getting a paycheck.”
- "13,000 Minnesota
National Guard soldiers not getting paid due to government
shutdown"
- Nevada:
Mount Charleston resident Jimmy Alderson raises sanitation concerns in
the mountains during the Democrat Shutdown: "If [the shutdown]
drags on, it could be a problem."
- New Hampshire:

employees
- New Mexico begins
to feel impact of shutdown as popular national parks close
- North Carolina:

- Pennsylvania:
A Philidelphia TSA agent is concerned about how she will support
her kids and be able to afford “food, car payments, rent… I don’t want
to dig into my savings… but I will if I have to.”
- Texas:
More than 230,000 Texans — including members of the military — will not
receive paychecks until the Democrat Shutdown is over.
- Virginia:
Sarah Steely, director of No Kids Hungry says the shutdown will impact
“new mothers, babies, young children, who use that money to buy things
like formula, and fresh produce… this could be serious the longer the
shutdown goes on.”
- Nicholas
Jenkins from the Chesterfield Food Bank:
“If they’re unfortunately unable to access the benefits that were
helping them sustain themselves, then we will see that in our lines.”
Democrats can end this pain
today by putting Americans first and reopening the government, but they are
refusing.
