🛑 LIGHTS OUT AT THE PENTAGON: The Shutdown Standoff Reaches a Breaking Point! 🇺🇸
While the world is distracted by the "Tariff Rebellion," the U.S. government is actually breaking. Since February 2nd, the lights have gone out for our most critical agencies.
Funding for the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially lapsed, leaving our troops and border agents working without a guaranteed paycheck.
🏛️ THE DEADLOCK: The 71-29 "Chasm"
The Senate did its part, passing a bipartisan funding bill 71-29. But the House, under Speaker Mike Johnson, has stopped it cold.
The Stickler: The House is demanding a total removal of the "Restriction on Federal Immigration Raids." They want the feds to have the power to conduct enforcement operations in "Sanctuary Cities" without local interference.
🚨 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR YOU:
National Security at Risk: With the Pentagon and DHS in "survival mode," routine operations are being scaled back.
The "Sanctuary City" War: This isn't just about a budget; it’s a philosophical battle over how much power the federal government has over local jurisdictions.
Paycheck Freeze: Thousands of active-duty military personnel and TSA/CBP agents are now facing their first "zero-dollar" paychecks if a deal isn't reached by the weekend.
