Don't ask if you don't want the answer.

As many know by now, the United States government shut down for nearly 35 days—the longest shutdown in American history—due to President Donald Trump's insistence on $5.7 billion to fund a wall at the southern border.

While the United States was still in the throes of the shutdown, the National Republican Congressional Committee—which "is dedicated to defeating Democrats and taking back the House in 2020"—asked Americans on Twitter if a wall should be built at the southern border.


Americans on Twitter responded with a resounding "absolutely not," and even though the shutdown ended nearly a week ago, they're still letting their voices be heard.

They still had more to say.

Many wanted to leave their answer in the official poll, but weren't willing to give their information to a committee acting in opposition to the causes they support.

While the results of the official results of the poll are nowhere to be found on the NRCC website, they'd likely be biased anyway. After voting, the page redirects to a donation form for a "Build the Wall" mug.

We'll know on February 15 whether or not Trump is willing to shut down the government over a wall again.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
