Government shutdown approaching as Senate Democrats refuse to work with Republicans

[Valletta]

Senate Democrats are refusing to work with Republicans on a Continuing Resolution on Wednesday as a government shutdown deadline approaches. The current temporary spending plan is set to end Friday at midnight, leaving the Senate less than two days to work out a solution.
“Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR,” Schumer told reporters, according to Newsmax.

We need to go back and find exactly what Democrats in Congress said previously about a government shutdown.

There's no working with to refuse. The situation is that either the Senate votes for the GOP budget plan that the House passed a couple days ago without Democratic input, or it doesn't.

Schumer has proposed a one month extension, which would allow for some time to, you know, work with each other in a bipartisan fashion.

Schumer has now said that he'll vote for it. Coward.

Resistance is futile.

Yeah this was a huge gamble for the Democrats. If they allowed a shutdown, they could be blamed for any economic downturn turns. If they vote for the CR, whatever happens is going to be on Trump.

I really hope he succeeds in completing his work to cut spending and deal with the woke issues. I certainly hope his tariff behaviors don't interfere with that work.
