The Democrats CREATED this shutdown — and they could END IT TODAY if they wanted to. The Trump Administration has proven it will do everything it legally can to soften the blow. But millions of Americans who depend on SNAP and WIC will go hungry — because DEMOCRATS voted... show more

Bullshit! Extend the ACA premium tax credits. Prevent Americans from dropping their health insurance due to astronomical premium increases. Republicans are holding FOOD hostage to force Democrats to give up health insurance.

14 times? Why would anyone interview this autopen? This is Johnson-Epstein shutdown. Your job is to negotiate, so do your damn job. If Trump told you to open the government, you would do in 5 minutes. If he said jump, you'd say how high. Stop interviewing this Speaker In Name Only(SINO).

The lies don’t work, Johnson, lol. You’ve seen the polls. Americans KNOW Trump & you gutless Republican turds in Congress own this shutdown lock, stock, and barrel. This is the beginning of the end…and you WILL be held accountable.

If you would have negotiated w/ the Democrats to begin with there wouldn't have been a govt. shutdown. Republicans are still refusing to negotiate. The Republican Congress has been on vacation since July while the Democrats have been in Washington DC waiting to negotiate.

No the republicans created this shutdown and you aren’t working day and night because the House isn’t in session. You are choosing to let people starve. And you claim to be a “Christian”.

Democrats created this shutdown crisis by blocking the clean CR 14 times—prioritizing pet projects over Americans who rely on SNAP and WIC. H.R. 5705 proves their agenda: funneling taxpayer dollars into programs that blur eligibility lines, effectively expanding benefits for illegal immigrants. Every "no" vote is a deliberate choice to let bureaucrats feast while vulnerable citizens starve. Trump’s administration mitigates the damage, but Democrats own the chaos. Fund Americans first—no more games. See which lawmakers stood in the way and how the numbers stack up:

I’m an American citizen and I know the truth that you, Mike Johnson, are a liar. You said you had no problem negotiating a healthcare plan good for all Americans. The Democrats are at the table waiting for you for 30 days. Stop fkg around, get it done, and open the government.

All I know is that @GOP had better not back down. Here is where you folks generally cave hoping for a new response. But all you'll get is a lot of crowing by the Democrats and not enough votes to remain in office. I like what you are doing but don't trust any of ya'll.

It’s Day 34 of the Democrat Shutdown — and here’s the simple truth ⤵️ Democrats are LYING when they say Republicans shut down the government. ✅ House Republicans voted to OPEN the government on September 19 with a CLEAN CR funding bill. ❌ Democrats voted to CLOSE it — and have now voted 14 TIMES to keep it closed. They’re gaslighting the American people — and their friends in the media are letting them GET AWAY WITH IT.

Senate Democrats have voted against funding the government 13 times. But it only takes five Democrats to end this shutdown, fund SNAP, pay essential workers, and keep planes on time.

They can lie to the cameras all they want — but the American people aren’t fooled. The SIMPLE TRUTH will win out.

I'm not worried about who Americans voted for – I'm worried about whether they will have enough to eat. Hunger isn't a political game, and the Trump administration needs to release SNAP funding for the more than 40 million Americans who depend on it.

House Democrats voted AGAINST funding Homeland Security again this week. This is the THIRD time they’ve opposed funding law enforcement charged with keeping Americans safe. Democrats have endangered American lives and people have died because of this reckless DHS shutdown — and they don’t seem to care.

The entire country would like to know when Democrats are going to end their tantrum and reopen the government. Democrats need to end this harmful shutdown. They need to vote for the clean, short-term funding bill that would reopen the government and end the chaos today.

SIMPLE FACTS: President Trump told Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries NOT to shut down the government — because it would cause REAL HARM to the American people. They ignored him — and now Democrats have CUT OFF government funding, forcing the administration to triage federal spending just to keep critical operations running. Democrats can make this shutdown stop IMMEDIATELY. All they have to do is pass our clean, 24-page bill to keep the lights on.

The choice is binary. Either you voted to open the government or you didn't. Democrats are now on record 14 times voting against SNAP, WIC, and other critical services that Americans rely on. They own this shutdown. More from me on NEWSMAX 👇

Even with 80% of Americans supporting the Trump Tax Cuts, every single Democrat in the House voted against the One, Big, Beautiful Bill, and every Senate Democrat has already said they will vote against it. Democrats are truly going against the will of the American people.

To make this ABUNDANTLY CLEAR: Senate Democrats have rejected a clean Continuing Resolution 14 times now. This is the same bill that keeps the same Biden-era spending they have voted for 13 times before. But today, they choose to play games with the paychecks of the troops and 40,000 federal workers like Border Patrol, Capitol Police, air traffic controllers, and their own staff, along with programs like SNAP and WIC, because it gives them “leverage” to prop up the fraudulent Biden COVID Credits. It will take 60 votes to reopen the government. Just a few more Democrats need to do the right thing. Chuck Schumer and his failing party can continue to spout lies as if they were the truth. But this crisis is entirely of their design. And they can fix it any time they want. If you live in a state with a Democrat Senator, ask them to end this madness and open the government.

SNAP and WIC funding runs out on November 1. Millions of Americans will go hungry while President Trump sits on funds Congress already approved to feed families. I just introduced a bill to keep these programs running during the Republican shutdown. Senate Republicans blocked it.

Democrats are forcing ANOTHER partial shutdown even though it will not stop the immigration crackdown thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill. Instead, Democrats just voted against funding for FEMA for states like Tennessee following the winter storms. They should be ashamed.

When Democrats say they want the government open — it’s a LIE - proven by the fact they have voted to KEEP IT CLOSED 13 TIMES. Last week, Senate Democrats voted against paying our troops. Yesterday, they voted against paying essential federal workers. They don’t want the government open — they PROUDLY say in their own words they want to let Americans suffer so they can use them for “leverage.”

So the House voted to pass the CR bill but what the media & democrats won’t tell you is that the bill included (among other things) a $500 million dollar increase to WIC programs (for those who can’t afford essentials for their child.). Yet out of 214 Democrat House members, 212 voted against that! They will lie and take things away from you just to spite Trump.
