As I watch the country agonize over the #TrumpShutdown all I can think about is how they are winning. Big corporations who aim to undermine workers by impeding on our freedom, stealing their wages and silencing our voices.

The Republican paradox is that they don’t believe in government, so they have to run for office to make sure that the government doesn’t work. We shouldn’t be shocked that they are leading us toward a government shutdown, but we should be outraged.
