Title: Government Shut Down Looming - Who Will it NOT Affect
Post by: JohnyMac on September 25, 2025, 12:17:38 PM

Looks like there will be a government shutdown next week. Trump isn't going to budge. I have put together this list of agencies and people that will not be affected. As the MSM/Legacy press goes crazy and blames Trump for the sky falling. Please use this information to your advantage.

**Agencies & Services That Continue**

> Military & national security: Active-duty military, intelligence agencies (CIA, NSA), border security, TSA, air traffic control, and federal law enforcement (FBI, DEA, ATF) operate normally.
> Healthcare & safety: VA hospitals, FDA food-safety inspections (reduced), CDC disease monitoring, and disaster response (FEMA, emergency weather services) continue.
> Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid: Payments persist as mandatory spending programs, independent of annual funding.
> Postal Service (USPS): Operates, funded by its own revenue.
> Air travel: FAA safety inspectors, air traffic controllers, and TSA officers work, possibly without immediate pay.
> Prisons: Federal prison staff continue working.

**Payments & Benefits That Continue**

> Social Security checks
> Medicare & Medicaid coverage
> VA benefits
>  SNAP (food stamps) & WIC (delivery may strain if shutdown prolongs)
> Federal pensions & annuities
> Unemployment insurance (state-administered, separately funded)

Knowledge is power. ✌

Stay tuned  :popcorn:

Thanks for the list. 

Being a pensioner on Social Security, I am pleased to see that my princely sum should not be interrupted. 

Back to my nap ...

Please post here the link to the first article that says/reports, "social security benefits will be halted". I want to see which legacy media outlet posts it. ✌

Social Security checks are considered mandatory, and recipients needn?t fear interruptions to their payments. However, anyone with business at the Social Security Administration could have a harder time getting help from an agency already straining under personnel cuts imposed by the Department of Government Efficiency, some experts fear.
