Mockler: I disagree that the government shutdown aspect didn't work. I can just speak for from a personal lens.

"I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown." "It's not something I support and I don't want to be involved." "It was wrong when the GOP did it and it's wrong now that we're driving it." John Fetterman calls out his own party for causing a government shutdown.

Vice President JD Vance on Chuck Schumer’s comments in Punchbowl saying “every day” the shutdown “gets better for” Democrats: “Chuck Schumer said this has been very good for us this morning about the shutdown. One of the things that we talked about before all the media came in and that all of us are going to work on for the rest of the day we've been working on for days, is how to make the shutdown as painless as possible on the American people. So, while Chuck Schumer brags about this being good, I think the President is right. It's not good for him politically as much as he might think that it is. It's causing real consequences for the American people.” “There's a low income food program — the WIC program — that my mom actually used when I was a baby, that program is about to be underfunded, and it's about to get cut off because Chuck Schumer won't open the government. We have troops — the Secretary of War mentioned how well we're doing on recruitment. We're trying to figure out how to pay our troops, because Chuck Schumer is shutting down the U.S. government. There are veterans benefits that are going to suffer.” “There are Americans that are going to suffer because Chuck Schumer refuses to — to do his job. So, while we're all celebrating this incredible success that we've had on the world stage, the — the country could be doing so much better if Chuck Schumer did his job and opened the government. Every single Republican except for Rand Paul has voted to open the government. A few moderate Democrats, to their credit, have voted with us to open the government. We just need five more Democrats to come to their senses and let the people's government serve the American people. I hope that they'll do that.”

Schumer: "I supported what the House did to vote against this bill universally, but that didn't cause a shutdown. It's different in the Senate. I knew people were gonna disagree with me but I thought so strongly that the shutdown would be the greatest disaster we face with these arrogant autocrats that we had to avoid the shutdown and fight and many of the other things, every other issue that we have."

Phillip: Where you here in 2019 when Republicans shut down the government and when the president actually said, I am not going to fund the government until I get my border wall. Were you here when that happened? You remember that this actual tactic of shutting down the government in order to get a negotiation on an ancillary issue is one that has been with us for some time? Republicans have repeatedly used it to shut down the government during a Republican administration.

Hakeem Jeffries REFUSES to say if he plans to defer his paycheck—even after being given multiple chances by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins amid the ongoing government shutdown—while air traffic controllers, TSA agents, and other federal workers are NOT being paid right now. Collins: “Have you made a decision on [deferring your paycheck during the government shutdown]?” Jeffries: “I’ll be commenting on that shortly.” Collins: “That sounds like a yes?” Jeffries: “Well, I have more to say on that shortly.” Actually, Kaitlan that’s a NO.

Scott Jennings just made a FOOL out of 25-year-old Democrat wunderkind, David Hogg. Hogg used his time on CNN to blame Republicans for the government shutdown, even accusing Scott Jennings of not caring about people in his home state on ACA subsidies. He was silenced pretty quickly. HOGG: “The entire reason the government is not open right now is because Democrats refuse to be complicit in having millions of Americans, including 100,000 in Kentucky, you’re home state if I’m remembering correctly Scott, that rely on ACA, that would see their premiums rise several dozen percent.” When Jennings finally jumped into the discussion, he came armed with the facts and Hogg didn’t stand a chance. JENNINGS: “But David, you would admit that the ACA was a Democrat legislation, yes?” “And you would admit that the subsidies that we’re talking about now were passed by Democrats, yes?” “And you would admit that the sunset provision in the subsidies, which comes up at the end of the year, was in place because of Democrats, yes?” “Now you want to make it a Republican problem. These are not the same issues.” “You could open the government today and then you could negotiate with Republicans about ACA subsidies.” “And by the way, my suspicion is and you know this, there are probably and I know there are some House Republicans that would love to negotiate on it, but under duress, under a hostage taking situation, connecting disconnected issues.” “And now you’re throwing SNAP onto it. You’re throwing all the federal workers who aren’t being paid onto it, all because of this fight that you wandered into, because of your wing of the Democratic Party.” “YOU ALL led to this SNAP crisis. You all led to this crisis of the government being closed and you don’t know how to get out of it!”

Newt Gingrich bluntly explains why the “Schumer Shutdown” is going to BACKFIRE on Democrats. Listen closely to these words of wisdom. Democrats couldn’t write a worse playbook than this. “There are two things the American people feel about this shutdown:” 1.) They do not want increased spending. 2.) They do not want the government closed. “So what do you have? You have the Schumer shutdown, where Chuck gets up and says, ‘I’m going to close the government to get more money.’ Now, that means he’s on the wrong side of BOTH issues.”

The best take ever on a Government Shutdown “So if the government shuts down, nonessential employees don't work. Well, that obviously leads to the real question of why does the government have any employees that are nonessential? If you're nonessential to the function of our federal government, you should not be part of our federal government.” “And right there is the reason for DOGE”

. Elon Musk says what many of us are thinking when he explains that the government shutdown is because the Democrats know that they will never be able to get all of these perks and subsidies for illegals passed in another bill and so they are willing to hold the government hostage and the American people hostage because if you take away all of the benefits that they give illegals, they won’t have any voters. For reference, see California.

And I also think it's important to note that it's very likely, and I think that she is that same source. She's the person who's been telling people this from the beginning.

“Back in 2019, when we had the partial shutdown, I think it cost our economy about $20 billion. When these checks stop going out, the pain will be felt, and some of these senators might change their mind.” @SamKuebler believes that mounting pressure from constituents hit hard financially by the government shutdown may force Democrat leaders to cave on their ridiculous demands and vote to reopen the government.

Jon Stewart knows who to blame for the government shutdown, "Who came up with this fucking fakakta, overly complex bureaucratic web of nonsense that it takes to get anything done, and I think it's very difficult when one political party that represents 75 million voters has zero say, authority, heft, and in a functioning political environment that isn't a zero-sum game, there would have been conversations up until now that took some consideration." Uh, Democrats having a say is why the government is shutdown right now. Still, Stewart continues, "Fuck you, James Madison."

George Washington had no desire to become the democratic equivalent of a monarch, says historian Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky. While he wrote that a civilian government is what it means to be a republic, "that decision must have been a hard one because he knew he was returning power to a government that didn't work," she told Judy Woodruff. "So it must have been incredibly difficult to give up power to a government that he knew was failing," she added. Chervinsky spoke to Woodruff for PBS News' podcast, "In Pursuit of Happiness," about Washington's achievements, contradictions and enduring influence on the American presidency.

Chris Bryant, "Up until now, it has been perfectly legal to import Russian oil products processed in a third country into the UK. Up until now." "It's only now because of this government, with the new sanctions that come into force today, that that is not going to be able to be possible." "So I really do hope that the honourable lady will withdraw the comments she's made." "The whole of this House stands 100% beside Ukraine." "I myself am probably the longest standing critic of Putin in this House." "I was saying back in 2014, when others were in government and not doing anything about the invasion of Crimea, that we should be tackling Russian aggression because otherwise, if Putin was allowed to take Crimea with impunity, he would come for the rest." "I do recognise that honourable friends of hers have been calling on the select committee and elsewhere for us to be able to tackle precisely this issue of Russian crude oil that ends up being processed in other countries and ends up coming into the UK, because that, up until now, has been a source of income for Putin." "But we're the government that is stopping this, not the government that is enabling it."

We said, we saw every single congressional Democrat sit on their hands. They didn't care about YOU!" "They didn't care about the people of this district. They didn't care about the farmers, or the factory workers, or the people who actually make this country run."
