Unless Congress passes new appropriations bills or another CR by midnight on March 14, 2025, a partial government shutdown will begin. Current reports indicate ongoing tension, with Republicans pushing a six-month stopgap bill that Democrats oppose, and no clear resolution in sight as of this evening. House Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed intent to maintain funding, but bipartisan agreement remains elusive, and Democratic leaders have signaled resistance to supporting the GOP’s plan without concessions. The ball is in Chuck Schumer’s court.
Chuck was against government shutdowns until today.

If Schumer was a person of integrity, he would think back to the time when he made this statement about the dangers of shutting down the government now that he is the one holding the cards. Unfortunately, he’s a Democrat so he’s also a massive hypocrite.
Shut it down. Save us some money! https://t.co/bAhlXxgTfw

If Chuck wants to shut it down and not play ball, give him what he wants.

Be sure and call it the ‘Schumer Shutdown’ on social media.
I’ve read there are several who do not want a shutdown to be the Dems’ fault, which it would be in this case.
Not holding my breath, but we will see. https://t.co/ImhEbsezrM

Schumer is an excellent bad guy.

Quite literally dozens of examples.

Just call for a vote to eliminate the racist filibuster, I’m sure he’ll vote for that. Then we can pass whatever we want.

Surely he won’t change his mind on that too, now?
That’s different because now it’s his idea. They think they’re going to get some amendments loaded into the funding. Good luck!

This next one will be a #schumershutdown, right?

It better be.
Trump should say he really wants a shut down, then they will vote to keep it open.

Try some reverse psychology with them.
This plays to DOGE’s advantage.

Not only that, they’re using the filibuster to do it, which I’ve been reliably informed is a relic of Jim Crow.

This is why you never make comments on this type of stuff. It always comes back to bite you in the ass.

Of course it is!
Chuck knows the media will have his back and blame Trump

That is what he is counting on.
