Joe Trippi - No Dollars for Dictatorship

As another government shutdown has begun, the usual blame game is already in full swing. Donald Trump and his Republican allies are quick to point fingers at Democrats, claiming they’re unwilling to “negotiate.” But let’s be clear: this crisis was not born of stalemate — it was engineered.

Trump wanted this shutdown.

This isn’t speculation — it’s strategy. His Office of Management and Budget director, Russ Vought, has openly embraced using a shutdown to permanently fire tens if not hundreds of thousands of public servants — people who forecast our weather, respond to disasters through FEMA, research diseases at NIH, and protect public health through the CDC. These are not “deep state” villains — they’re the backbone of the services Americans rely on every single day.

And as this sabotage unfolds, Trump continues to ignore court rulings and steamroll ahead with devastating tariffs that raise the cost of groceries, vehicles, and everyday essentials for working families. Declaring domestic threats and calling for our cities to be military training grounds against American citizens.
