Norfolk, VA – Washington Republicans have warned Donald Trump’s “federal government shutdown may become the longest in history” because they refuse to change course on his destructive healthcare policies that will kick nearly 350,000 Virginians off their healthcare. Instead of standing up and defending Virginians whose livelihoods, paychecks, and healthcare are at risk, AG Jason Miyares still doesn’t have a plan.
The Trump administration has already started “unusual mass layoff[s]” that put Virginia’s 300,000 federal workers at risk of losing their jobs, but Miyares still refuses to stand up for them and Virginia’s local economies that rely on them.
Miyares has also remained silent on Trump’s Medicaid cuts that are gutting healthcare access in rural communities – which is no surprise, given Miyares wrote the playbook for these cuts as a delegate, including writing his own legislation to kick thousands of Virginians off coverage and lay the groundwork for Trump’s plan.
