Pelosi just gave a press conference, and spoke of some EPA worker that has had to 'sell everything they own', and is still unable to pay their mortgage. Hasn't it been less than a week of not getting a paycheck? This has to be a complete fabrication, or that person is the most financially irresponsible person I've ever heard of.
It must be common for them to be living over their means; my local news has aired several reports on these people having to go to food banks, as if Trump stripped them of all their assets. This was being reported one day after the first missed check.
Local news just put on a CNN report [KEK!] that said something like- 'FDA feeling the shutdown…new medicine development may be affected'. Also made sure to show some woman who "hasn't had a paycheck in almost 2 weeks", which means she has missed one, getting a free meal that is being offered.
