News snippet: Congress remained deadlocked on legislation to reopen the federal government, as the US Senate on Tuesday again rejected a Republican plan to end the government shutdown that began two weeks ago.
The eighth Senate vote to advance a Republican bill that would fund government operations through 21 November failed on a 49-45 tally – far short of the 60 needed for advancement in the chamber. In a sign that that there has been little if any progress toward ending the stalemate, no senators changed their votes from the last time the measure was brought to the floor, though there were a handful of absences.
I am shocked.
Here is my shocked face
Republican Senate fails to reopen government as they can’t come to agreement with the Republican Congress or Republican President.
Mike we know why you shut things down. Release the Epstein files and let’s get the show going.
Alternate Headline:
“Republicans Continue to Deny American Families Affordable Healthcare”
Let me guess which steps were taken to avert this…yup just about covered it
Johnson’s son must be getting near constant alerts on his app to say his dad is wanking off in delight over this.
We’re 2 weeks into a shutdown over a bill that will only fund the government 5 more weeks.
Fuck it!
Keep it shut down until we elect some adults.
If republicans only need 7 Democratic votes, they better get negotiating.
here’s a fun scenario. The republican plan funds the government at current levels until Nov 17th. What happens if the shutdown lasts until then? It would kind of be a moot point then and the House would have to come back into session to vote on a new CR right?
The Presidency, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, and who is driving this shutdown again?
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
Dems really need someone meaner than Schumer, someone who understands the gravity of the moment and can piledrive home the fact that this shutdown is happening while the Republicans control *all three branches of government.* The best rhetoric he could muster was “slap in the face” to American families. Scorching.
While their bitch asses still get paid. Fuck maga Mike.
The real headline:
Party with absolute power won’t reopen government.
Republicans have done absolutely no work towards resolving the issues. They are not serious.
I suspect that republicans will keep the gov shut down keep shouting their rhetoric against Dems.
While people lose their Healthcare, jobs, and fall into despair, they will protest harder and Trump will use that to push the Insurrection Act and maintain power. This is in the P25 playbook.
Troops will be loyal to whomever is paying them. Same with farmers who will accept trumps bailout. And so on and so on. There’s a reason the DOJ is demanding voter data and building a weapons registry. Call me crazy but prove me wrong.
I have a feeling it’ll be even longer than the 2018 one.
„Republicans refuse to compromise.“
So the republican controlled senate rejects republican plan? That’s what this should say right?

Serious question – have any of these proposed bill to end the shutdown actually changed? Or are the republicans just running the same bill out there every time? I haven’t read the article.
Hold strong Dems.
There should be new elections like in any normal democracy
Where are the ratings agencies in this? Downgrade this banana Republic by one notch for every week the government is shut down
The Democrats need to be hammering Johnson and the GOP House so much more. The House’s job is to pass a budget that can get 60 votes in the Senate. They have not done that. Full stop. They have not done their job yet, but instead of working on that job, they refuse to even come back and negotiate. Johnson has willfully abandoned the American people and is choosing to keep the government shutdown.
Republican controlled senate does the exact same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
Either negotiate or use the nuclear option.
GOP continues to Guard the Pedos
„If this administration has $20bn to spare for a Maga-friendly foreign government, they cannot turn around and say we don’t have the money lower healthcare costs here at home,” Schumer said, calling the move a “slap in the face” to US families.“
My generic medication is now double in price thanks to the tariffs. Thanks, Trump. You suck.
“Republicans refuse to pursue any compromise with 7 Senators.”
Why is no one saying “Republican policies are so unpopular they don’t have the votes to move forward with this budget. They must work across the aisle if they want to proceed.”
