Being tough and shutting down the government is what people who are Democrats are looking for! It’s time to fight fire with fire not to bend anymore knees in the hopes things will get to normal! Things are so far from normal it’s ridiculous!

Normal left the station 14 years ago when a sexual pervert and so called "billionaire" named tRump said he was going to "investigate" President Obama's Birth Certificate.

If they cave then there will be no chance in taking back control. We the people need elected officials who will stand up for the majority of people in this country.

It doesn't seem he netted a lot of extra respect from voting to keep it open last time!

No one believed or understood what Schumer was doing or saying because it was. Ore than a 30 sec sound bite!

The Republicans are going to shut down the Gov & call Martial Law because it is already in their plan!

Because people are not experts on Constitutional law or law at all!

Trump will call Martial Law if the Gov shuts down & then he can make a constitutional emergency & do what ever he wants. Ice has no Judicial oversight & canʼt be stopped by anyone but their bosses, Noem, Bondi, Homan, those pieces of work have full control. Judges canʼt oversee them.

Gov shut down is suicide for us all

Oh dear! Then we have really no way to do anything but the marches. And that he’ll label civil unrest.

The Epstein - tRumpervert is going to use the Insurrection Act anyway, so it really doesn't matter at this point. The selection of 2025 will go down as the worst thing to happen in decades.

Young people don't vote regularly (only 47% of 18-29 y.o. voted last November), have no real political compass and are easily swayed by social media lies and podcast liars like Joe Rogaine. The lowest youth turnout rates (below 40%) were: Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas that make it hard for young voters to actually Vote. We lost our Democracy because we wanted to forget about Covid-19, the price of a dozen eggs and "a Black Woman" was running.

Schumer better not screw this up. Republicans need to agree to stop the removal of millions of people from Medicaid and Obama care. SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN IF THEY DON’T AGREE!!

I know they don’t care. But the democrats need to make them agree to some of our demands or shut the damn government down. Then the American citizens will wake up and see what they are doing to our country.

We The People had our chance for a different course last November, but the "Black Woman" was running against the old white billionaire (so-called.)

Have Big Oil give them what they need. The top five oil companies took in over $100 billion in profits in 2024 alone. And--after subsidies and depreciation, they pay zero in tax. W.T.F!
