My hunch is power and perks more than money. If money were the prime motivator they could leave congress and work for lobbyist firms, make lots more $$$$.

Yaaaay!... Great News! ... Wherever Dems need to do to 🚫BLOCK🚫 Dirty Rethuglican Votes, they need to do!... Normal/Sane Americans do not want to shut down our government, but we also didn't want a Fascist/Nazi Dictator ruling America!

A shut down makes as much sense as DOGE firings and probably much more effective at cutting spending…. tRump & musk-rat should be delighted by this!

God, we need somebody with more energy and verve than Schumer. He’s an Israeli lapdog for starters and he’s too old to do this job. We need someone who’s gonna kick ass and take names and won’t be in Israel’s back pocket.

* REPORTER: What about the president's plan to expel Palestinians out of Gaza? TRUMP: Nobody is expelling any Palestinians. Who are you with? REPORTER: I'm with Voice of America, sir. TRUMP: Oh, no wonder. * Can you say 78 year old man with “Dementia” boys & girls? *

Americans & Allies are protesting this 🤡 administration- ALL of our elected Democrats need to stand up for their constituents! The government is not currently functioning due to DOGE anyway so shut it down and force the GOP to work out a plan for ALL Americans

Maybe a shutdown is what we need. Then Trump will be the president with the absolute worst economy in American history... on HIS watch. When a space ship acquires a dangerous alien onboard, they are quarantined & sometimes the ship must be destroyed.

Democrats are woefully outplayed.. the old men in the party are not by any stretch capable of doing the needed. Being a strong opposition and a check to the stupidly corrupt madman in the WH.

Not gettin’ hassled, not gettin’ hustled! Keepin’ yer head above agg-wah! Makin’ a wave when you can! Temporary layoffs! Buenos Tiempos! Easy credit n ripoffs! Buenos Tiempos! Scratchin’ n survivin’! Buenos Tiempos! Hangin' in and jivin'! Buenos Tiempos! Ain't we lucky we got 'em? Buenos Tiempos!!!

Grab ‘Em’ by the balls. Shut these fascist mother fuckers down!!!!!! Time to take this country back from these Nazi’s fucks!! They want to break us down and we cannot let them 💙💙💙💙💙

They should start from this: 1 month clean bill (remove the tariff language and funding cuts and spending). Make it clear this will not happen again until Trump stops breaking the law. If GOP negotiate in good faith they can put the spending and cuts back in. The rest should be non-negotiable.

Thank you Broken. You and so many others are needlessly suffering due to this craziness. Appreciate you standing up for what's right even when it harms you and your family.

That is RIGHT! GOP bill will let Trump fire more federal workers and wreck the federal agencies! DEMOCRATS should do everything possible to block this bill! The bill contains nothing to help Americans

Federal employees still get paid in a shut down. So I say block this shit & just shut the whole thing down until MAGA cries for their Social Security checks but then wait about 5 more months so they lose their homes & cars. 😝 That should do it.

Block it! Stop the steal! Yes, Trump and MAGA are trying to steal the USG from all checks and balances! Do not bow down! Stand tall, stand for us all, and show them we will not back down! I say this as a GS employee willing to accept the shutdown impacts, but we need to make this right!

Removing that language should be top priority. The tariffs on Canada clearly don't fit under the authority granted by the IEEPA law. The amount of fentanyl coming from Canada in one year would fit inside a single suitcase.

No deal without a public mea culpa from the Trump Republicans for failing -- for a very long time now -- to do their damned jobs and GOVERN. They need to put a stop to Trump and Musk and start acting like a check on the executive instead of just a bunch of asskissers.
