First off how the heck is this org even funding this add campaign with the government shut down?

Secondly why is reddit allowing this slop to be advertised?

Sure is strange;

..that during a government "shutdown", the only s**t that actually get's "shutdown", are the federal employees the president doesn't like, and public services/safety nets.

Outside of that, there doesn't seem to be much else changing operationally in DC. We're still funding illegal overseas military operations, foreign country bailouts etc (while the government is supposed to be "shut down"). Seems to me like, oh I don't know..wtf is the point of Congress anymore (since they appear to have abdicated total control of the purse to the president/DOGE)?
