Here's Donald Trump at his Virginia golf club yesterday on the taxpayer dime, while the government is in a shutdown and while Donald Trump is sending the military to invade more American cities. Donald Trump is caught playing golf pretty much for the entire day. Here's MAGA Mike Johnson, also very much enjoying this government shutdown. You see him right there at a fancy Washington D.C. restaurant, also enjoying the government shutdown. Donald Trump and MAGA Mike Johnson have ordered all MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives not to show up for work next week. They've all been ordered to take paid vacation and to stay away from the Capitol building. Why? Because Donald Trump and MAGA Mike Johnson want this government shutdown. It's part of their plan for Project 2025 to destroy the United States government. And while they're doing that, they are ordering the military to invade more American cities. You will also recall that yesterday in Portland, a federal District court judge who was appointed by don Trump in 2019 ruled that Donald Trump's military invasion at Portland, Oregon is based on Donald Trump's truth social posts, which are entirely untethered to the facts. The judge said it was wholly unconstitutional what Donald Trump was doing and that it risk sending the United States into a complete and utter state of martial law. That's a Trump judge stating that basically Trump is turning the United States into a perpetual state of martial law. Yesterday, Donald Trump ordered the United States military to also invade Chicago. We heard from Governor Pritzker of Illinois talking about Donald Trump saying that he has ordered the troops into Chicago. And then Donald Trump has been terrorizing the people there to try to create some pretext for a military invasion, releasing chemical agents into the street, severely harming children and innocent people who are inhaling the chemical agents being sprayed at them, amongst other real travesties and frankly, crimes against humanity being inflicted by the United States military against the people in a full fledged authoritarian regime here in the United States. So you obviously see there Donald Trump, MAGA Mike Johnson, they are absolutely giddy about this government shutdown. They're enjoying it. They don't care that the Affordable Care act subsidies that tens of millions of Americans rely on are about to expire, which will raise raise your healthcare premiums each month by two, three, four times the amount. I've given you examples before. If you were paying $8,000 a year in your healthcare premiums, you'll likely now be paying 24 to $30,000 a year, potentially even more. This is in addition to the fact that the Trump regime and the disastrous budget bill destroyed Medicaid and severely harmed Medicare as well. And the American people aren't fooled by this. In fact, only 22% of Republicans believe that Democrats are to blame for the shutdown because of illegal immigrants or transgender people. That's 22% of Republicans buy the lies that Donald Trump is selling. So a very small group of Trump's own base, because Americans throughout the country either have Medicare, Medicaid, or Affordable Care Act. And those tax subsidies, these subsidies for the ACA keeps the price of your monthly premiums, at least at a level that's affordable. My own personal view is there should be universal healthcare. I think healthcare is a human right. All Americans should have it. But the subsidies, at least for now, help keep the price, you know, somewhat manageable. And without the subsidies, people are gonna go medically bankrupt, lose their healthcare, and die. But Donald Trump and MAGA Mike are having a grand old time. They're really enjoying themselves right now. They're having fun. They're doing memes, they're laughing, they're posting jokes. They think this is all one big joke because they don't understand what the American people are going through. They don't understand what you're going through. And again, I don't care what political party you're from. It seems that Trump and MAGA Mike and all the Republicans enjoy this government shutdown. It seems, again, like they're having fun. Here's what Democratic Congressmember Ted Lieu had to say is the Democrats are there working. Democrats aren't going on vacation. Democrats are there to work. Here, play this clip.
