The government shutdown isn’t just political gridlock — it’s a direct hit on working families. SNAP recipients aren’t lazy. Most do work — they just don’t earn enough to survive. When Congress fails to fund basic programs, it’s not “tough love.” It’s cruelty.
If you’re angry, you’re not alone. We need a government that protects people, not punishes them.
The shutdown is, in part, because Republicans in Congress are trying to end basic programs.
Correct. Democrats are the only ones trying to protect those programs.
