Despite the Radical Democrat Shutdown, we’re holding things together with duct tape and bubblegum to keep vital programs running for vulnerable Americans—but the money’s running out. The ACTUAL solution is simple: Senate Democrats must pass the Clean CR and OPEN THE GOVERNMENT NOW!

The victims of Schumer's Shameful Shutdown: 🚜 Farmers who can't access programs during harvest 👩‍🍼Women, infants, and children whose nutrition assistance is at risk 🍎 The SNAP program that will run out of funds in November @schumer.senate.gov is holding Americans hostage. REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT!

Democrats have spent years slamming shutdowns, but now they're pushing a reckless $1.5T spending spree, including healthcare for illegal aliens. Keeping the government shut down only hurts hardworking Americans. Tell Congress to STOP the Democrat-led shutdown.

America’s farmers and ranchers are waiting on vital funding and relief payments? Vulnerable mothers, infants, and children may go hungry? This is the reality of Chuck Schumer's shutdown. This is what obstructionist Democrat actions look like. OPEN THE GOVERNMENT DEMOCRATS!

Because of the Democrat shutdown, there are not enough funds to provide SNAP for 40 million Americans come Nov 1. Democrats are putting free healthcare for illegal aliens and their political agenda ahead of food security for American families. Shameful.
