Democrat-Media-Antifa Party Tries Brand-New Tactic to Defend Schumer Shutdown: Straight-Up Lying and Gaslighting

Before that: They're also insisting that we fund their woke propaganda unit NPR.

3h We discussed yesterday how tone deaf the Democrats were to insist on funding NPR as one of the conditions to avoid a government shutdown. A new New York Times poll shows that the leadership does not even have the support of a majority of Democrats.

...Some 65 percent said Democrats should not shut down the government. Among Democrats, 43 percent said they should not shut down the government. That is at the start of the shutdown. These things tend to become less popular with time. Fighting for such items as funding your favorite media outlet is not going to resonate with Americans, who will face serious cutoffs with this move.

OMB director Ross Vought kept his promise and froze billions that otherwise would go to boondoggles in Chuck Schumer's shithole state of NY:

Russ Vought @russvought

Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles. More info to come soon from @USDOT.

Specifically, the Hudson Tunnel Project and the Second Ave Subway.

I like it. You know what would make me love it? Permanently cancelling this boondoggle spending. New York can pay for its own infrastructure from the profits from Zohran Mamdani's government-run groceries.

Democrats are all claiming that they're not fighting for free health care for illegals. They claim that illegals aren't eligible for Obamacare so none of them are on it, just like they're not allowed to vote so obviously zero illegals vote illegally.

But that's not even the issue, and they know it. At least if they were on Obamacare, they would be paying something for health care.

They're not. They walk into hospital ERs and do not pay anything to anybody.

And you know who pays for that? Taxpayers, through the federal government, which "reimburses" hospitals for the "free" health care they provided to illegals. Which is no different than paying the bill up front. It doesn't matter whether taxpayers pay it immediately or a month later when the hospital bills the federal government. We're paying for free health care for illegals.

Democrats are demanding we restore funding to hospitals for free health care for illegals.
