Budget Negotiations

To: Sen. Gillibrand, Sen. Schumer

From: A constituent in Newfield, NY

October 4, 2025

Something just crossed my mind. Trump RX. The dictator stands to make money by keeping affordable healthcare at least partially intact. Something is telling me they plan to "cave" on healthcare and look like the reasonable, negotiating good guys, but that that has been their plan all along. And since the spineless Democrats used that as their only negotiation point for the budget, we will now "have to cave" (we DO NOT have to cave) on funding the American Gestapo ICE terrorizing and arresting innocent citizens en-masse, unleashing the military on its own citizens, and all the other horrors that are already taking place in this fascist takeover. They have flipped over the chessboard, and we pick a piece off the floor, put it back on the board, and wait politely for them to flip it again. You may not have realized, but we the People are LITERALLY AT WAR with our own government! Sending troops and para-military into cities to arrest and terrorize. If that is not LITERAL WAR, then WWII was just a small scuffle. I DONT CARE that YOU promised to approve the budget if ACA is kept safe. FLIP THE BOARD YOURSELF. Hold their "budget" hostage, that unleashes horrors on YOUR constituents. This is not about red vs blue. It is about Oligarchy vs We The People. Are you on the Oligarch's side? Because it sure looks like it. Please change my mind.
