Right-wing media are pushing a lie that Democrats are threatening to shut down the government over “free health care for illegal immigrants” and want to “blow up the budget” for “illegal aliens” even though undocumented immigrants are not eligible for federally funded health benefits.
The Democrats are actually pushing to extend subsidies for the Affordable Care Act without which millions of Americans could face significantly higher health care premiums and lose access to health care. Additionally, Democrats are pushing to reverse cuts to federally funded health care that were passed under Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” in July.
They very well could be asking for that, but their voters are the ones who matter. Plus they only need 5 more votes to get 60, based on their last vote. They can’t convince 5 more to get on board? Better start trying to get those numbers up.
could need a hell of a lot more, if the grifter|liar|pedo|cheater-in-chief dare veto legislation to (re)open the government.
overriding a veto takes more support in congress than just evicting the shitstain from the white house.
That’s easy, would he veto the DONALD TRUMP IS AWESOME AND HAS A BIG PENIS funding bill, delivered in a gold plated box stuffed with $100 bills?
