NO DEAL! Shut it down. They have total control and they need total responsibility for this mess. They own it. I do not want to see ONE Dem attempting to work with them like things are business as normal, while the Republicans burn it all down anyway. I’m done being the grownups in the room. Fuck that noise. Dems need to walk away and start repeating like a mantra who’s in charge and who is supposed to be governing and who is responsible for this shit show. Republicans have NO plan to govern and America needs to see that.

While I was never a big fan of his, he has been a giant disappointment in his acquiescing to the trump crime syndicate. Just shameful. That fucking guy can go. 🤬

😠 Agreeing to this really agrees to all the cuts to “save money” and spending it their way will show you have no spine as a democrat! It hurts our fight for democracy as tRump wants control and reign as king!

It pains me to say this, but no help should be given to the House GOP. I loathe a government shutdown because of the people it will hurt. Members of the U.,S. Coast Guard fall under the authority of Homeland Security and, as such, will receive no paychecks during a shutdown. Nor will many other federal employees.

Bit it's vital that the Republicans own this. And Americans will understand who is responsible. Fox "news" viewers notwithstanding.

That's my rep, Jim McGovern. He's absolutely right: the g*****med Republicans own this one. Let 'em do it. Don't give them any help. Any Dem that votes with them should be run out of the party. No quarter asked or given.

I'm happy to see that the Democrats are giving Republinazis a dose of their own medicine. The Dems are always expected to play nice, while the Rs can be nasty and irrational, and if the Dems take a stand they are the bad guys. Suck it up Republinazis, hope you will get what you deserve for enabling the Mad King Con Artist Felon Rapist 47

I agree, they wanna tout that they own everything and they have a mandate…if they wanna fuck over the American people then the democrats need to keep any of the blood off their hands. They should schedule town halls and stand with protesters and fight with us!

Democrats have responsibility to work for We the People just as Republicans do. The GOP needs to wake up! They are working for Trump and Musk, not for We the People!

THEY DID NOT WIMP OUT. TOO MANY THREATS FROM THE REPUBS. EVERYTIME A REPUB GETS IN OFFICE, EVERYTHING IS OK, BUT WHEN A DEMOCRAT GETS IN OFFICE THE REPUBS TURN AWAY AND PLAY THE I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING.
