The premium subsidies were set to expire at the end of this year THREE YEARS AGO.

Now people are about to lose SNAP benefits, TSA workers are calling out, and upwards of 1,000,000+ federal workers are going without paychecks.

True; or anyone else who bankrolls the military… whatever the anonymous funding source.

No one should hold leverage over the US government or military!

Both the fat cats and the corporations that funded Trump’s ballroom WH rebuild are going to want favors in return.

'Uncharted territory': Ongoing shutdown threatens food aid for 42 million people
SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

I feel your frustration!

The companies are donating to Trump’s cause(s) in exchange for him favoring their business operations. Now when they want (for ex) a merger approved or tariff rate on their imported goods lowered, they may get it. It’s crony capitalism at its finest.

Alex Kent for The New York Times The White House is demolishing the entirety of the East Wing to make way for President Trump's $200 million ballroom, a construction project that is far more extensive than he initially let on, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.

But, upon further evaluation, the White House determined it was cheaper and more structurally sound to demolish the East Wing to construct the ballroom, rather than build an addition, the official said. The new structure will also have enhanced security features, the official said. Mr. Trump is raising tens of millions in private donations to fund the project, the official said. The president plans to contribute some of his own money as well, though the amount has not been determined, the official added. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10/22/us/trump-news Accessed: 22 October 2025 at 1504 CST
