The Dems' Main Narrative For The Schumer Shutdown Is Falling Apart

Posted • October 4, 2025: Remove the noise, and it’s a nightmare. The Democrats know this issue makes them vulnerable, so they’re leaning on the legacy press to convey their point. It’s not going to work.

She was the Democrat Party's nominee for president just last year. Now Democrats want to pretend that they didn't just shut down the government over healthcare for illegals.

A smug Ashley Allison gets exposed on CNN's panel by Phil Williams. "The average state spends 5% of its Medicaid, roughly, on emergency services. California? 35-40%. Why would that be? Because California passed a state law that says we will fund Medicaid for illegals." —— —— Tapper: Here is the provision that shows you want to give illegals healthcare. I understand it's not an accurate depiction. —— Jeffries: It's a lie. —— Tapper: It's a lie… but it does bring back funding for healthcare for illegals. (…)
