 What outrages me about this video is that billionaire Elon Musk is not at the border to give a hand up. He’s on safari to see the poor.

 Yo tech bro, what are you talking about?

 Republicans claim that democrats want to defund the police (a lie). Well at @693e8466 just did defund: border security, the military, law enforcement, food banks, and millions of others. Oh by the way they also made sure they continue to get paid. Outrageous! 
 Is this shutdown personal, hell yes! Millions of government employees won’t get paid — military, border guards, law enforcement… Tens of millions that rely on government will suffer — travelers, small businesses, veterans… but not @693e8466 ! 🧵 
 Did you know that Congress passed a special law to get paid during government shutdowns when the rest of the government — deployed soldiers, border guard, law enforcement, food banks, etc., — don’t? @693e8466 alone can stop it! The hypocrisy/selfishness is staggering.
