a week into Trump’s shutdown…

Trump is using the shutdown as cover to advance his destructive political agenda, choosing chaos and cruelty instead of lowering costs for Americans, protecting health care affordability, and keeping communities safe. ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ ͏ ‌     ­ Pamela, We're a week into Trump's shutdown -- putting working families, critical services, and our communities at risk. Airports are already feeling the strain: TSA agents and air traffic controllers are being forced to work without pay, creating staff shortages, long delays, and growing safety concerns for travelers. Trump continues to threaten mass layoffs during the shutdown, and a recent White House memo revealed plans to deny backpay to hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal workers. And that's not even all: Trump is doubling down on his attacks on clean energy -- threatening to cancel an additional $12 billion in clean energy investments (after an $8 billion cut announced last week) that would have lowered energy costs, created good-paying jobs, and strengthened our economy. We've created a resource hub with the full facts about the Trump Shutdown and clear steps you can take to push back, protect your community, and hold leaders accountable. Check it out here. Trump is using the shutdown as cover to advance his destructive political agenda, choosing chaos and cruelty instead of lowering costs for Americans, protecting health care affordability, and keeping communities safe. Republican policies have already caused utility bills to rise 10% in just months, made health care harder to access, and left disaster relief and emergency services underfunded and understaffed. Now, their shutdown threatens to make all of this far worse. Their actions have proven this is not about fiscal responsibility -- it's about using families and public safety as leverage to benefit billionaires and enact their unpopular agenda. Republicans could end this shutdown today by passing a bipartisan deal that protects health care and lowers costs. Instead, they've chosen to protect their wealthy donors and gamble with Americans' safety. Check out our new shutdown resource hub, and take action now: GET STARTED Every day this shutdown continues, families and communities pay the price. Stay informed. Take action. Together, we can create the pressure needed to reopen the government on terms that protect working families, public health, and our planet.
