Social Will the government shutdown tomorrow?

[cincymma79]

from my email

As you may be aware, funding for some government agencies, including portions of the Department of Veterans Affairs, expired at midnight this morning.

President Trump opposes a lapse in appropriations, and on September 19, the House of Representatives passed, with the Trump Administration’s support, a clean continuing resolution to fund the government through November 21. Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands.

During the current lapse in funding, the vast majority of VA benefits and services will continue uninterrupted, but the government shutdown is not without consequences to VA. Here is what you need to know:

The following critical Veterans care and assistance programs will be impacted by the government shutdown:​

• VA will not provide Veteran career counseling or transition assistance program activities.
• The GI Bill Hotline will be closed.
• VA regional benefits offices will be closed.
• VA will cease public affairs and outreach to Veterans.
• VA will not permanently place headstones or maintain the grounds at VA national cemeteries.
• VA will not process applications for pre-need burials.
• VA will not print new presidential memorial certificates.

Thankfully, the government shutdown will not impact the following VA services:​

• Veteran health care is not impacted. VA Medical Centers, Outpatient Clinics, and Vet Centers will be open.
• VA benefits will continue to be processed and delivered, including compensation, pension, education, and housing benefits.
• Burials will continue at VA national cemeteries. Applications for headstones, markers, and burial benefits processing will continue.
• The Board of Veterans’ Appeals will continue decisions on Veterans’ cases.
• VA Contact Centers (1-800-MyVA411) and the Veterans Crisis Line (Dial 988, Press 1) are open 24/7.

In that vid, Vance says Program # 1 was a Biden era policy which funded Emergency Care at hospitals for illegals and it was shutdown by Trumps Big beautiful bill...

Neither of those things are true though... Since 1986 (long before Biden) ERs have been required by federal law to treat anyone who walks in regardless of citizenship status (see Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor) And Trump's bill does not change that.

Seems like they got caught lying about the healthcare to illegals, and are just making up more lies to muddy the water.

It's so frustrating. The (R)s know how to control the narrative, no matter the truth. I can't help but think most on that side in the WR know as much but feel as though they are doing their part. Not the person you are responding to mind you. He's a lost cause.

This meme being posted unironically at a time when we are literally trying to save healthcare coverage and keep it affordable for the poorest Americans before it gets gutted in the biggest wealth redistribution scheme ever imposed on the poor and middle class by the wealthy is just peak ‘Murica.

Democrats threatening to shutdown the government unless they can bring back funding to give healthcare to illegals, which they originally said was misinformation… among other things.

Trump and Vance have you calling low income Americans “illegals”? Talk about brainwashed.

Doge wasn’t enough, republicans are planning to cut even more jobs and essential services funding. The US economy is about to take another nosedive. Trump bless for this mess.

And when this devastates the people of this country, we'll always have this tweet to look back on and remember who specifically caused it.

Project 2025, commence!

THe same project 2025 Trump didn't want to admit was his actual campaign agenda? The one that would usher the united-states into an era of authoritarian regime; a complete departure from Democratic rule? Is this the thing you support?

It's so predictable that FOX knew exactly what she would say, and had the trap ready, LOL.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

I can agree to this.

Republicans will do anything to not vote on the Epstein files release. Their rubes will believe anything.
