In today\u2019s episode, I\u2019m sounding the alarm about a looming government shutdown that could hit at midnight on September 30th. History tells us shutdowns backfire on the party that demands partisan add-ons to must-pass funding bills, yet Democrats are betting they can use that same failed strategy and escape the blame. I\u2019ll walk you through the shutdown showdowns of the past decade, explain what\u2019s different\u2014and more dangerous\u2014about this moment, and lay out the real costs to workers, taxpayers, and the stability of our government. Most importantly, I\u2019ll explain why keeping the government open isn\u2019t just smart politics\u2014it\u2019s essential for protecting our government.
