Donald Trump and Republicans control the entire government. For 42 days, Republicans shut it down. Why? It was because they refuse to extend tax credits to help millions of Americans afford their healthcare. If that wasn't bad enough, President Trump even withheld food assistance during the shutdown. Hunger should never be used as a weapon.
