Keep it shutdown until problems are solved. The Republiklans are trying to kill Americans. What difference does it make if it's by freezing, starvation, or disease? They are literally the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse because they're working overtime to drum up a war too.

Who thinks this authoritarian regime gives a 💩 about our citizens. They’re funding a private militia, gutting all social programs, and killing small businesses. Congress is silent. Well 🖕 the GOP. We the people are furious.

funds for leap program were cut this january with the “big screw america” bill. my county has had no funds since jan 2025 thanks to the blood sucking republicans in congress crisis funding has been very limited & scarce leaving seniors and poor people at the mercy of vulture utility companies
