"it's a symptom of a deep and abiding dysfunction that Republicans, despite holding the presidency, the Senate and the House, can't fund the government and can't even get themselves to get together in a room to strike a deal."

I’m ready to get to work to re-open the government, but Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency – it’s on them to come to the table.

Fox: "People want to know why the Senate has a majority of Republicans and they can't pass it..." Thune: "To get around the 60 vote threshold, you would have to nuke the filibuster and there aren't the votes for that. It's a math issue. It isn't a question of leadership."

🚨 HUGE: Rep. Byron Donalds calls on Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster and pass the SAVE Act to guarantee only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections. "The House PASSED the SAVE Act AGAIN months ago, but the Senate is blocking it. It's ridiculous that this critical bill can't even get a floor vote. NUKE THE FILIBUSTER AND PASS THE SAVE ACT NOW!"

BREAKING: In a recently unearthed Trump interview about government shutdowns, he blames the President. "The President's the leader, and he's got to get everybody in a room and he's got to lead." He can't even take his own advice.

The Senate passed a bill at 3 AM without fully funding ICE or CBP and then left to go on vacation. The bill they left us with was unacceptable. House Republicans passed a bill on Friday night that would fund the entire government. It’s time for the Senate to stop playing games and get back to work.

Time for Republicans to get real: they control the House, the Senate, AND the White House. Republicans are in the driver's seat. If they let this car go off the cliff and shut down the government, it will be a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN.

Balint on Senate attempting to fund TSA: Republicans have realized they’ve given up all of their power to the president, and they realized this dude was holding up a deal for weeks while TSA agents were not getting paid and now, he’s going to swoop in on a problem he created and somehow save the day, and they’ve realized they should get their shit together.

Sen. Padilla: If there's a government shutdown, it's because Republicans have shut down the government. They're the ones in charge. It's a Republican in the White House, Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate.

Reporter: Despite the Trump administration's best efforts to prevent this vote from happening, it now looks like they're going to see even more Republicans get onboard. Mike Johnson called it a moot point, but if it's a moot point, then why did the White House have a meeting in the Situation Room to try and convince Republicans not to get on board with this?

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If the government shuts down, it's because Republicans chose to shut it down rather than work with Democrats to pass a responsible budget.

Instead of having the House vote on a bipartisan deal to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard that had been unanimously passed by the Senate, House Republicans instead put forward a bill that would prolong this shutdown and give Donald Trump and ICE a blank check with no accountability. I voted no.

🚨 BREAKING: Senate Leader John Thune starts YELLING at Democrats for betraying America and keeping DHS shut down Bring this passion to the SAVE America Act! "USUALLY around here, to get a DEAL, there has to be a negotiation where 2 sides sit down TOGETHER! And my understanding is, that has been completely REBUFFED!" "We are here today, and we are trying to close a deal that would enable us to fund all the agencies that the Democrats say they want funded WITH REFORMS." "With reforms to ICE. And I've seen the offer sheet from the White House. And they have gone a LOT farther, a lot farther than any Democrat I think was even possible!" "And so we have a situation here, Mr. President, where one side is trying to get a deal to open up the government, to get people back to work, to fund the programs and functions that are important to the national security of our country!" "And we have one side that's saying, we're not going to sit down and talk! I don't know how you DEFEND THAT, honestly!" "I mean, this is a one-sided negotiation in which the White House has put forward a proposal. Senate Republicans have said repeatedly, we are prepared to sit down and talk with Senate Democrats."

An update now that Republicans have shut the government down: there’s absolutely no reason they can’t do their jobs and come to the table to negotiate a deal. Democrats are ready—and we’ll keep holding the line for people’s health care and to get the government reopened.

The question shouldn’t be what Democrats are doing. Republicans own the White House, the Senate and the House. If the damn government shuts down, it's because they couldn't get their shit together.
