Trump admin adds banner attacking ‘Radical Left Democrats’ to government websites

The Trump administration has installed banners on various federal websites attributing the government shutdown to Democrats. For instance, the US Department of Agriculture’s site features a banner claiming, “The Radical Left Democrats shut down the government,” and asserts that “President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open.”

Similar messaging appears on the Department of the Treasury website, which states that Democrats have caused the shutdown “in the name of reckless spending and obstructionism.” The White House website also includes a countdown timer indicating the duration of the shutdown and similarly places blame on Democrats.

The shutdown occurred on Wednesday when Congress failed to agree on a funding bill. This impasse has been complicated by ongoing conflicts regarding the extension of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, which Democrats support but face opposition from Republicans. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stated on X that the Democrats were responsible for voting to close the government.

It is worth noting that not all federal agencies are displaying partisan messages. Agencies like the Department of State, the Department of Education, and the Federal Communications Commission have opted for a more neutral approach, stating only that their sites will remain unupdated due to the shutdown.
