Now in its 16th day, this shutdown is on track to eclipse all but two prior closures, those in 1996 and between 2018-2019 under different administrations.
The longer it persists, the more it frays public trust in Washington's ability to handle basic governance.
Thune tested Democratic resolve by bringing a short-term funding patch to the floor for a tenth time, only to see Schumer's caucus largely reject it. Only three Democrats broke ranks, revealing how tightly party leadership grips the reins on this issue.
Politically, this vote undercuts Democrats’ claim to the moral high ground, as they spurn even temporary solutions that could ease the burden on federal employees. Their leverage, tied to healthcare subsidies, risks looking like a cynical trade-off when troops’ pay hangs in the balance. [CapitalismInstitute]
Good Night, Patriots!

Republicans control everything. There is nothing they don't control. This is all theirs and the thing is, the majority of Americans know it.
Love your Democrat talking point but as ALL Americans know, even you, there needs a 60% vote in the Senate. Democrats are the ones to blame for the Government shutdown...no argument unless you're blind and stupid. As I have said many times before, hang out with your obsession on a liberal wacko blog, not here. Thanks much. It's no wonder you don't post with your real name as you don't want everyone to know how stupid you are. :)
