Billionaire Trump Supporter Timothy Mellon Revealed As Mystery Donor Helping Pay Military During Shutdown: Report
The Pentagon said Friday it accepted the money for military paychecks during the government shutdown.
Consider:
A billionaire would not have had to donate $130m to pay the military if billionaires in the US paid the same tax rate that they did in the 80's.
In fact, if they did, ALL the programs Trump cut, including the ACA, would be easily funded.

Fact: Undocumented immigrants are not even eligible to purchase the ACA coverage weโre trying to protect.

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they โsubmitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.โ
Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens
