Democrats prioritize healthcare benefits for illegals over paying military and air traffic controllers.

[Dorian Mode]

Now they're going to have to vote NO on a bill to fund food stamps, if they want to keep their shutdown.

Are they trying for a standalone bill for EBT? I hope not. If they do I hope every republican votes no and demands the CR be passed if they want their EBT benefits to continue. Don't give the democraps anything. Besides, have you seen the typical people on EBT? I think the minimum body weight requirement to get EBT must be 300 lbs. and the cholesterol count must be over 500 just to qualify. They're not in any danger of starving to death. And if their 7 kids are hungry, Mama can just open a vein and bleed Rocky Road ice cream for them.

Look, I just got to say, the whole healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants is a load of horseshit. First, and I have no problem documenting it, just use a little AI. Spending on illegal immigrants amounts to one percent, ONE ******* PERCENT, of Medicaid spending. You seriously believe that is what this is about? How big of a fool do you want to appear?

It does serve as yet another confirmation that white bigotry is the core value of Trumpism.

They started selling these draconian cuts by telling this lie over and over again, to a poorly informed and easily influenced audience.

Now, because it didn’t work the firtst time, they’re rerunning it.

Air traffic controllers should all call in sick if they arent being paid. They have alot of leverage.

Federal statute and program rules make undocumented immigrants ineligible for Medicare and for most Medicaid benefits; Medicare requires lawful presence and work history, and Medicaid’s federal funding excludes undocumented status, so the default is exclusion <a href="State Health Coverage for Immigrants and Implications for Health Coverage and Care | KFF" rel="noopener noreferrer">[</a>

But Democrats want to give it to them.

You mean the banquet facility/ballroom that is being built at NO EXPENSE to the American taxpayer? Trump is the first president to make a repair/modification to the White House without using taxpayer funds.

That is completely unture. Obama's basketball court addition and his Rose Garden changes were all privately funded. Better still, each president gets $100,000 allocated to them for changes to their living quarters. The Obama's paid for theirs out of their own pocket.

Wait until the EBT benefits don't show up for much of the democrap base. It's going to be quite the spectacle.

Such a liar you are. Red states are the welfare states.

Show me the legislation. It is kind of like court. You can say anything on the courthouse steps but only counts on what goes on, in the official proceedings.

Show you what ? Democrats now openly state that they want to give medicaid to illegals. They tried to keep it quiet, but bigmouth Maxine Waters let the cat out of th bag.

Rep. Maxine Waters admits Dems forced government shutdown to get ‘health care for everybody’ — including illegal immigrants

Mad Maxine from California is the outlier, not the voice of the Democrats as a whole, not the caucus nor the leader of the party. In Congress, that would be Hakeem Jeffries, who serves as the House Minority Leader.

If I remember correctly the Obama’s net worth was less than a million dollars while in the White House. Correction, it was slightly over a million and soared to seventy million after he lost the election and signed speaking and book deals.

Leverage right to the unemployment line. I hope you are being sarcastic instead of ignorant.

Schumer will soon say he's not running for another term.....Wait and see.

It will come down between SNAP/EBT running out and air traffic controllers saying No Mas.

It's just a matter of time now. LaGuardia will be the first to shutdown for safety reasons. just watch.

Government shutdown continues to add to stress on air traffic controllers and disrupt flights​

The ongoing government shutdown continues to disrupt flights at times and put pressure on air traffic controllers who are working without pay.

Flights were delayed Thursday at New York's LaGuardia Airport, New Jersey's Newark airport and Washington’s Reagan National Airport because of air traffic controller shortages. The number of flight delays for any reason nationwide spiked to 6,158 Thursday after hovering around 4,000 a day earlier in the week, according to FlightAware.com.

The government is shut down.

Air Traffic Controllers shouldn’t be working. Airports shout be closed and all flights grounded.

Democrats have chosen the hill they want to die on. Healthcare benefits for the people they value the most, illegal immigrants. It is not only a slap in the face to American citizens, by denying pay to Air Traffic Controllers they are endangering anyone who flies. The Democrats are the anti-American Party.

Senate Dems block bill to pay federal workers during weeks-long shutdown

Senate Democrats blocked an effort Thursday to advance legislation that would pay some federal workers during the ongoing government shutdown.

Your post is a lie.

Dems didn’t shut down the government, Republicans did. The shutdown has nothing to do with health care for illegals. That’s a complete lie.

Trump fired thousands of Air Traffic Controllers and their support staff. Trump and DOGE.

Trump made the mess and as always blames others for his failures.

You mean, as opposed to the Republicans who couldn't give a damn about anyone when it comes to healthcare, and will go for pointless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and get loads killed and wounded?

Yeah, well, the OP has never really cared about the truth, in any way.

They're just a MAGA supporter, cheering their team on.

I suspect furious conversations are going on in each caucus. The Dems seem to be concentrating on short term political goals, whereas the GOP is weighing longer term strategies. If the shutdown continues another month, Trump may declare a national emergency and exert extraordinary powers to deal with the situation. In that event, the Supreme Court might let him do it.

I doubt it. The Supremes will not overrule the whole legislative branch of government.
