The government officially shut down this week as Democrats refused to vote with Republicans, saying they want certain access to Medicaid and ACA insurance restored.
Republicans and Donald Trump are going scorched earth. First, they've been spreading the lie that Democrats want to give healthcare to undocumented immigrants. Grant does a little debunking. Second, the administration is planning to fire tens of thousands of workers and maybe shutter entire agencies while the government is closed. Grant breaks down what the plan is, why it might be illegal, and who's really to blame for the shutdown.
