No surprise, Republicans are lying about the cause of the shutdown

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : On the other side, you have a bunch of politicians fighting tooth and nail to protect tax breaks for the rich and lying like crazy in order to take health care away from the poorest among us.
46% : If Trump wants to toss another $50 billion on the pile, OK.
44% : Democrats actually want that $50 billion and the other $850 billion that the BBB cuts from health care funding.
42% : But at the risk of banging my head against that rightwing misinformation wall, let's try a little truth here, complete with facts and junk.
38% : The reality is this: Democrats want to roll back some of the limitations implemented by Republicans in their incredibly unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill" passed in July, which dramatically cut Affordable Care Act subsidies overall and place drastic limits on who is eligible for those subsidies.
25% : In response to these stone cold facts, Republicans have tried a separate talking point - that Dems want to stop the $50 billion in funds Trump proposed for rural health care.
