So after the meeting between R leadership, trump and Dems, R's lie to the camera ! Color me not shocked! [View all]
Aaron Rupar is following the comments from Vance, Johnson, and Jeffries on bluesky. Here's an example of the lies JD and Johnson are peddling. JD blames "Biden policies" for rural hospitals shutting down in Sept. 2025. He scolds Dems: "You don't use your policy differences to shut down government." Mike Johnson is saying that if the govt shuts down, the WIC program and FEMA won't be funded. Because you know that Rs have always been BIG CHAMPIONS of those programs. 
Schumer's response: "We have very large differences on healthcare and on their ability to undo whatever budget we agree to through rescissions and through impoundment."
