A little “sending as required by POTUS” in the subject line would have been a nice touch
SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

Literally the authoritarian playbook:
1. Call your opponents terrorists.
2. Deploy state power against them.
There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

Trump is bailing out Argentina’s economy to the tune of $20 billion while our farmers are enduring a crisis that he caused with his tariffs.
On top of that, food, housing, health care and electricity costs continue skyrocketing.
That’s not putting America first.
