Congress had a chance to take a stand, and you failed. Instead of making the tough choices needed to secure essential programs, you caved to political theatrics. Refusing to shut down the government might seem responsible, but what good is keeping it open if it means abandoning Medicaid, Social Security, FDA research, and NIH? These programs are not excess spending—they are essential to public health and economic stability.
Your job is to lead, not to stall. Instead of entertaining distractions like DOGE, secure funding for the programs that actually matter. Stop letting essential services be gutted while pretending you’re protecting the government. If you won’t stand up for the people who rely on these programs, who will?
Fix this. Fully fund these programs now. No more excuses.
Stand up to tyranny. Support democracy. This is you. This is America.
