Has anyone tried turning the government off and back on again?

So much of this would have been avoided if folks had not been scared or threatened by vagina.

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social we want names of the democrats that voted yes to 5371 on 11/12/25!

NOW YOU'RE TALKING. Keep the focus on the party that caused this.

CROOKS! Marsha Blackburn, Lindsey Graham, Bill Hagerty, Josh Hawley, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Lummis

🚨 BREAKING: Republicans slipped into the CR, at the last minute, a corrupt January 6th kickback to funnel millions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank accounts of 8 GOP Senators. Thanks to Trump, the shameless grift gets worse & worse.

@repmcgovern.bsky.social you on 🔥

From Aaron Parnas:

@kaine.senate.gov We all wanted to see the shutdown end. We just didn't want to see it end with the usual Democrat collapse and a vote that will make healthcare unaffordable for millions. Name the other Dems that were happy with your vote. @markwarner.bsky.social were you one of them?

I will actively promote any degree of left leaning candidate in any state that can simply: 1. Not take bribes 2. Not make shady investments profiting from their position 3. Have a spine 4. Is not ancient. It’s time for new blood in old positions. We need pissed off and fired up!

Anyone seeing Mitch not know wtf is going on?

I hate every single senator on the floor chatting and laughing like they haven’t just signed the death warrant for reasonable and affordable healthcare for millions of Americans. People with preexisting conditions, that are medically complex, children, elders, and small businesses. I Invoke karma.

It's like I was just getting used to the shutdown, and now this happens. Dems just gave in to GOP to end the shutdown, as usual. Cowards. Reason: GOP promised to bring up a vote to extend ACA subsidies in the December vote. We all know if they do vote, it's going to fail. Unbelievable.

@senangusking.bsky.social do not make a deal that does not include extending the subsidies. Americans are behind you holding out for the desperately needed subsidies. The so-called vote being offered is a sham and will never pass the subsidies. NOW is the time to fight for this! Do not cave!

Senate Democrats: If you give up on fight to extend the ACA subsidies, you'll be blamed for the shutdown because u held held your ground for 40 days and got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the effort. The justifiable question will be: why? You could have gotten nothing on day !

Individuals who intentionally starved people Julius Caesar Nicolae Ceaușescu Winston Churchill Adolf Hitler King Leopold II Pol Pot Joseph Stalin Donald J. Trump Mao Zedong

Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off. So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose? Seriously?

@schumer.senate.gov DO NOT AGREE without ACA subsidies! People will die and it will be on you!

F you @democrats.senate.gov if you agree to anything that doesn’t include an extension of ACA subsidies. You will have failed every single one of us.

And the people who are starving, who are watching their kids starve are not going to care who you blame for the shutdown. They’re going to remember that Donald Trump ordered their benefits to be taken away and not one of their elected officials said that this wrong.

I continue to think "we'll starve kids and cancel air travel before the holidays unless you let us hike health care premiums" is a really stupid shutdown message from the Republicans.

@neut-us.bsky.social I appreciate the very quick summaries you provide. Ty!

@democrats.senate.gov Senator Cassidy’s plan is not realistic for struggling Americans.

@peters.senate.gov excuse me Mister! You need to explain, in detail, your objection to the bill to pay all government workers today as I cannot find the concerns that you had. So please explain why you tanked paying our federal workers and the military today. We will wait…

Sorry, not sorry, but I just do not care if flights are grounded. I can’t afford to fly to begin with, and while I understand folks want to fly places my priority is for folks to have affordable healthcare. Between the two options I pick affordable healthcare over plane rides every damn time.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

@democrats.senate.gov dlvr.it/TP6l4Z. YOU BETTER NOT AGREE TO ANYTHING LESS THAN AN EXTENSION OF ACA SUBSIDIES!!!!!!! (cannot scream this loud enough)

Today at 4:00 PM on the National Mall in Washington DC, the March for Health and Science is taking place. If you’re in the area, we’d be grateful if you joined to support healthcare workers and scientists during this unprecedented attack by the Republican Party.

Let’s see, tearing down the East Wing, bathroom reno, AI Trump shitting on protesters, longest shutdown, tariffs are taxes, skyrocketing food costs and healthcare costs, prioritizing billionaires over regular Americans, ICE raids and the final straw, roaring twenties soirée before cutting off SNAP.

Trumps been saying all this time that Democrats can open the government and need to. Today he tells GOP to open it up so they can get rid of the filibuster and rig elections. It’s Trumps shutdown 100%. He’s choosing not to feed people, but will rig elections in his favor. Those are HIS priorities.

Stop Lying, Trump Shutdown

❓When people say, "the longest in U.S. history," how long is that? The U.S. was founded in 1776. So, "the longest" means 249 years. That’s 8-10 generations of people. Think about that when we say: Tonight, this government shutdown will become the longest in U.S. history. Let that sink in.

The Trump Admin has become a pay-to-play casino. Some of the payoffs are in plain sight. Others are under the table. Shame on all those collaborating with the most corrupt president in history.

46 days without a full House session. 128 session days total this year. 100+ bills, including 12 appropriations, waiting for floor action. Speaker Mike Johnson continues pro forma sessions, saying the House has nothing to act on during the shutdown.

We've got you 👍

Speaker Johnson has decided to keep the House in recess all through next week. This will be the seventh consecutive week of recess for the chamber. It has not been in session since Sept. 19.

KARL: I mean, you could swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow, right? MIKE JOHNSON: No, not tomorrow. We couldn't. We wouldn't.
