Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz calls out Trump’s MAGA shutdown as a shameless act of political extortion that holds working families hostage to his ego. Federal workers are furloughed, healthcare threatened, and ACA tax credits on the brink. Joined by Dr. Greg Carr, she frames this moment for what it is — economic terror disguised as governance.
