Because Republicans think the democrats will change their mind on saving health-care. No they won't. Democrats hold the line
This is a perfect example that proves that the people of the country do not have any say or the last say. We are not governed by the people and this proves it to me I don't know about anybody else
The dumbocrats or going to get hammered again midterms. Zero common sense party.
I see cbs failed to mention that the rep and the house have voted for a clean, add nothing bill, but the DEMS demand more spending. Their nothing to negotiated
I wish the people could vote to bypass the vote and keep it open
Non story. Everyone knows only a handful of Democrat yes votes are needed to reopen the government. No negotiations are needed
They won’t play these stupid games if their salaries gets lowered. Bunch of clowns
Chuck Schummer is an idiot.
If you have not paid in you should not Draw out
Get rid of all their programs.Love it goodbye democrats
You know what? President Trump is actually, in my intuition, an undedicated idiot, who received his presidential "training" by the mob. I say "Trump Mr. trump. Trump YOU'RE FIRED!!!!! Impeach and convict for slowly killing or democracy. He is replacing the Constitution and Bill of Rights with Homeland scarcity and the patRIOT act! Absolutely atrocious and incorrigible!
The Senate can also take advantage of rules that will let it CONFIRM THE REST OF TRUMP'S APPOINTMENTS when the Senate is in recess to get more full.control of AGENCIES THAT HAVE BEEN BLOCKED BY DEMOCRAT FOOT DRAGGING & SLOW WALKING SINCE when Trump took office in January.
Stop fooling around and get the work done you were sent to Washington to do. IF YOU THINK THE RADICAL AND REVOLUTIONARY DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO OFFER YOU THE COURTESY OF A TRADITIONAL CONFIRMATION PROCESS UPON GAINING POWER, YOU'RE DREAMING.
To win the 2026 midterms , the House and the Senate need to SHOW tangible effectiveness and they are failing at it. All of the effectiveness is being demonstrated in the Executive Branch and the Supreme Court.
Yes , Speaker Mike Johnson got an omnibus bill passed full of Democrat wishlist SPENDING to keep the government open , but it basically represents extending the Biden Administration into the first year of the Trump. NOT PASSING THIS CLEAN BILL IS HOW THE DEMOCRATS ARE REWARDINGYOU SPEAKER JOHNSON.
RINO Republicans can forget about "waiting out" Trump. Political realities are NOT GOING BACK to those of 2015 at the end of the Obama administration… And CERTAINLY NOT back to the mess in 2008 the beginning of the Obama Administration afte.George W Bush fence straddling policies,… crashing the economy and nearly bankrupting the world (and left Barack Obama to clean it up with the help of advisers from Goldman Sachs).
It was THAT George Bush , who DOUBLED the national debt and engaged in military adventurism and occupations of countries he had turned into enemies… and as a sideshow instituted " no child left behind " school curriculum reform that has driven good teachers out of the classroom and handed over education to powerful Woke teachers unions who are getting local tax districts to tax out of their homes people who have been paying mortgages for decades. It also introduced message for teaching math that made it impossible for parents to help their children complete homework.
DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO RUN ON THAT PLATFORM TO GET RE-ELECTED?
You RINOs and Uni-Party Republicans may dislike MAGA movement motives of putting AMERICANS first, but without Trump's counter revolution — Republicans who are "retired on the job" in Congress ARE.as bankrupt from a WORKABLE policy standpoint as is the Democrat Party itself.
By not getting the government opened up and " taking the nuclear option" You're giving your voters an either-irvCHOICE of primarying out INCUMBENT GOP SENATORS every 4 years, or just going back to our worsening lives… AND LETTING PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS TAKE OVER EVERYTHING.
Time for the Nuclear Option. Time to open the govt,…codify most or ALL of the Tump Executive Orders into federal law,…start passing small single topic bills , so voters can tell who is voting for what versus some omnibus confusion, and get rid of the artificial hurdles of needing 60 votes in favor or 40 votes in opposition to PASS LEGISLATION.
Republican voters elected Trump with a popular majority, an electoral college landside.(both claiming for a mandate to govern for the incoming administration) majorities in all of the swing states and ADEQUATE THOUGH SLIM MAJORITIES IN THE HOUSE & THE SENATE sufficient to pass laws putting across Trump's agenda and that of the faction that wants to put the interests of Americans in front of all other nations and potential future constituents.
Republicans in the Senate are too interested in decorum, norms, and tradition and playing footsie with their "colleagues" — but mostly afraid of what Democrats are going to do to them when Democrats are back in power, if Republicans DARE TO GOVERN with a 51 to 49.majority, or 51 to 50 majority was their REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENT AND FORMER COLLEAGUE , CASTING THE DECIDING VOTE. With the exceptions of some revealing investigations, Congress has become a stinking private club of personal enrichment.
Republicans are in a ponition to REALUZE A ONE TIME OPPORTUNITY to keep the DEMOCRATIC PARTY Machine (which practices the politics of personal destruction , and every opportunity) OUT OF POWER FOR THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS.
If majority leader Thune and his caucus do not seize this opportunity, it will be seen as PROOF that Republicans do NOT want to WIN control of FEDERAL LEGISLATURE and GOVERN — but INSTEAD want to only get personallyb re-elected to their own precious seats in the Senate as the "minority party" SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO GOVERN & has important laws and control the federal budget…& CAN AVOID CRITICISM FOR DECISIONS THEY MAKE.
This self-serving strategy practically insures a divided government where incoming presidents producecendless Executive Orders, which are reversed. the next presidon and on — and further ENSURING THAT THE PERMANENT ADMINISTRATIVE STATE UNDER THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH will simply wait out one administration after another and try to steer the OVAL OFFICE to supporting its own highly compromised ends RATHER THAN RESPONDING TO THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO ELECT PRESIDENT'S ADVICE PRESIDENTS TO ACHIEVE CHANGE.
It's a shame that these guys are perverting the SPIRIT of the Constitution they have sworn to abide by, and are hiding behind hair-splitting technicalities TO ERASE the effectiveness of yhe GOP 2024 victory.
I find it odd all the Republicans keep voting over and over to fund the government and stop the shutdown and all the Democrats vote over and over to keep it shutdown, when all the Democrats are accomplishing is laying off more and more Democrat workers and killing their own programs. It’s a very strange world we live in these days. 👈
Please do not give them their slush funds. The American people do not want to give them anything
He'll get rid of them all they can't get along the hell with it everybody's pointing fingers why? I'm reminded of the movie Larry the Cable Guy getter done but if you can't send them all home and put a for sale sign on the door
ENOUGH, This shutdown needs to END!
And now we find out that half of the Congress is actually Nazis and are going to take over the entire government now
Just remember this is not a democrat shutdown when republicans are removing all the heath support while giving the rich more breaks on their taxes while working people keep on paying more and more even for every day necessary while trump and his cronies keep on lying and lying about everything when they on the screen
Why do you have to hurt someone to get your way? Is compromise dead. Democrats say If it's Republicans we're Republican asgt it. Republicans say if it's Democrats we're asgt it no matter what. Can we gets some adults in congress.
I bet many people is missing Karmala Harris NOW
How many votes do they need to pass these spending bills? If anyone has a second to explain it.
The problem with both sides is ego over substance the democrats and Republicans rather blame each other then get anything done ,they still get paid while everyone else gets nothing it's not fair or reasonable to keep the government shutdown. They need to suffer like everyone else.
I think it’s appalling that Congress are still getting paid while lots of Federal Employees are furloughed and not getting paid! When there is any Government shutdown Congress should also lose their pay and their medical benefits! They are supposed to work for the American people!
bottom line?the republicans wont vote to waste money.
Acdc
No they did that in BBB. The funding bill pays for the BBB
Why does Trump's Administration and people get paid while the Government is shut down? Cut them all off.
The majority republican seats in the house represent the will of the majority of Americans. There is no negotiation to change anything in the house. Sign the clean cr democrat senators or own the shutdown.
They need to end this my wife and I will end up homeless if this does not end before November
When we were forced to have Obama care my premium tripled in cost
I was a Repub and you killed me by not getting govt open My food and insurance will end Nov 1 . I have cancer I guess you do not care Trump.
Because the Democrats want to give Iilegals Free Healthcare and make US citizens PAY FOR IT.
The Republicans want to shutdown Democrat programs that were initiated by covid. Covid is over,it's time for the once most prudent programs to end.
Key WE are closing programs so who is really to blame?
Rotten leadership!!THE CRIMINAL IS LEADING THE REPUBLICANS!
Democrat is the problem.
Yes the Democrats have voted against opening the government 8 times now
They need a whole new decision making group trump wake up crazy 😧
Its all about money
Keep up the good work Democratics!!!!!😅😂😂😂😅😅
Abolish the democratic party they are destroying America,
President Trump and the Republicans,Democrats by shutting down the government and downsizing on hard working Americans on the verge of starvation an elderly people and kids on medication about the die or start getting sicker these the leaders that posed to provide for the country in a loving Safe Way and help people who struggle and work from paycheck to paycheck get treated like nobody. This show evil spirits fighting against good spirits the Bible end time prophecies
If I bring an idea to you once and you reject it, that's okay. That's a human. If I do it twice, I'm a bit dumb and you probably shouldn't trust me.
If I do it nine times, I'm a Republican.
