SBA posting complete lies on their website.
Special announcement
Senate Democrats voted to block a clean federal funding bill (H.R. 5371), leading to a government shutdown that is preventing the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) from serving America’s 36 million small businesses.
Every day that Senate Democrats continue to oppose a clean funding bill, they are stopping an estimated 320 small businesses from accessing $170 million in SBA-guaranteed funding.
As a result of the shutdown, we wanted to notify you that many of our services supporting small businesses are currently unavailable. The agency is executing its Lapse Plan and as soon as the shutdown is over, we are prepared to immediately return to the record-breaking services we were providing under the leadership of the Trump Administration.

As of early October 2025, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and several other federal agencies displayed messages on their official websites and in internal communications that blamed "Senate Democrats" or the "radical left" for the government shutdown. This highly unusual and partisan messaging drew widespread criticism and sparked allegations of violating federal ethics laws.
The messages appeared in the form of bright banners on the SBA's website and template language for employee "out-of-office" emails. The content of these messages explicitly linked Democrats to the shutdown, stating they blocked a funding bill and were preventing the SBA from serving small businesses
Violating federal ethics law....
Please use your head people...it's complete BS, it's fake news,

Good info Steve
