"Government" isn't shutdown. The Trump administration continues to destroy the White House, kidnap people, and take bribes.
The only thing "shutdown" is the branch of government that could stop Trump (Congress), which is odd because Republican-controlled Congress is too craven to do that anyway.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for White House ballroom donors.
Then he went to Mar-a-Lago for a $1 million-per-person dinner benefiting his super PAC.
Last night, he treated big GOP donors to dinner on his new White House patio.
The government has been shut down for 22 days.

Today, I was joined by organizations representing 100,000 doctors & medical experts.
They know — I know — that vaccines work, and have saved millions of lives.
We cannot allow Sec. Kennedy or anyone else to undermine faith in science and put the health of our children at risk.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.

Pope Leo XIV expressed solidarity with imprisoned journalists and affirmed the “precious gift of free speech and the press.” He spoke in an audience with some of the 6,000 journalists who descended on Rome to cover his election as the first American pontiff.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.
He was not dead.
He was not dead.
I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The economy shrank for the first time in 3 years last quarter under Trump, hiring is slowing, and empty shelves are likely en route for summer. If this happened under Biden, it would be “recession” 24/7 on Fox News. It’s Trump, so it’s silence.

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated?
That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

How about making housing more affordable? Trump promised to build 10 brand new cities to give young people "a new shot at home ownership."
Does anybody have a status update on the construction of these 10 new "Freedom Cities"?
