SNAP Benefits pause / delay / stopped

Awareness of Obamacare open enrollment premium hikes

Tuesday's election results

Tuesdays election results. Democrats are getting the blame forthis and the longer it goes , the worse they look.

Uh huh. Tell me more

The democrats have themselves said that they are holding the country hostage because they think it is the only leverage they have over the Republicans. They are holding their breath and stomping their feet to get what they want.
The Republicans have said in no uncertain terms, illegal aliens will not get medicaid. Full Stop.
Trump will not negotiate with terrorists.

Maybe the election on Tuesday, but they might be in it for the long haul

Maybe food riots and subsequent martial Law, which is the goal.

We don't need the government to open up again, we need it to be smaller
