VIDEO BELOW
If you missed it on social media, below is a great commentary from our co-founder and Pulitzer Prize winner, David Cay Johnston.
Wednesday marked the first day of the 2026 federal budget year — and the U.S. government is already in partial shutdown. In this very first episode, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist David Cay Johnston breaks down: 📌 Why the shutdown is happening 📌 Who’s responsible 📌 How it will impact healthcare costs for millions of Americans 👉 Did you know? According to KFF, your total healthcare costs could rise by over 70% next year. That’s $10,000 jumping to $17,000 for a family of four. David also calls out Donald Trump’s hypocrisy on shutdowns — reminding us of his own words from 2011 and 2013. ✊ Will Democrats hold firm and stand up for ordinary Americans — not oligarchs?
