⚡️🇺🇸 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (aka AOC), a Democrat Party Representative from New York State claims that SHE is the one actually running the democratic party and not Senator Chuck Schumer (Democrat, New York) like many presume.

AOC has also openly stated that until she has a written statement from President Donald J. Trump, the Democratic caucuses of the House of Representatives and the Senate will not budge or coordinate to reinstate the U.S Government’s total funding.

As of current, the Executive Branch has dedicated the income from tariffs; which at roughly $50 Billion (USD) per month, to cover funding of the Dept of Homeland Security, Immigrations & Customs Enforcement (ICE), SNAP Benefits, etc.

On orders of the Executive Branch, the Department of Defense/War Department has also reallocated unspent funds held for Research & Development to fund the payments of all military personnel, this went into effect over the last 72hrs so at the latest, troops only missed one paycheck (and were paid for that missing paycheck + the one that was due.)

It has officially been 2 weeks into the US Government being shut down as many states have begun preparations for a long term (60+ day) shutdown.
