It’s October 3rd, 2025, and the Trump shutdown is still raging on. Federal employees are being forced to do unpaid work, Americans face a massive increase per month on healthcare payments, and Trump is choosing to address these problems by posting AI memes on Truth Social at all hours of the day and admitting that Project 2025 was the plan all along.
On top of that, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson just canceled votes for yet another week, meaning Republicans will again be skipping town, in part to avoid a vote on the release of the Epstein files. Democrats are still in DC, as they have been all week, working to end the shutdown and shield Americans from a detrimental increase in the cost of their healthcare.
Senator Ruben Gallego joins The Siren Podcast to give the latest update on day three of the Trump Shutdown.
