Government Shutdown as a 'Shakedown'

  • πŸ“Œ Congresswoman Kat Cammack reframes the government shutdown not as a shutdown, but as a 'shakedown' by Senate Democrats.
  • πŸ’‘ She argues Democrats are advocating for policies that hurt Americans, citing $200 billion for non-citizens and $400 billion for insurance subsidies.
  • ⚠️ Cammack highlights the impact on working families, who are working without paychecks and struggling to afford basic necessities like formula for infants.

Cracks in Democratic Unity

Republicans on the Offense
