This is completely my personal opinion, but the overwhelming bipartisan support for moving the Continuing Resolution forward, after nearly a year of fighting over CRs, suggests to me that both Republicans and Democrats were concerned about the possibility of a government shutdown amid Senator Mitch McConnell’s absence. Whether either...

“The gold standard for ending a shutdown has been a clean continuing resolution...That is what the Republicans have passed in the House, that is what they sent to the Senate, and that is what Senate Democrats have blocked using the filibuster.” Brit Hume weighs in on whether the government shutdown is any closer to ending as Democrats and unions weigh in.

Ok, Andy Beshear, enough is enough. I’m tired of coming to this hospital. I have given you enough information to raise legitimate questions about Senator Mitch McConnell’s status. For God’s sake, please call a special election so Democrats and Republicans can put forward candidates and ensure Kentuckians have representation for the remainder of Senator McConnell’s term. And to Senator McConnell’s U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell handlers: I double-dog dare you to try to stop us with an injunction.

Today is day 33 of Senator Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization, and based on the continued presence of his U.S. Capitol Police security detail. For those of you who work for the U.S. Capitol Police, the federal government, or the military, the talking points on Capitol Hill are increasingly shifting toward a government shutdown. Both parties are blaming each other, but with Republicans holding a very narrow majority, McConnell’s continued absence raises questions about how leadership plans to navigate the negotiations. So far, there has been little public clarity about when, or if, Senator McConnell is expected to return.

.Senate Republicans intends to do everything in our power to pass legislation as soon as possible that will fund the government and prevent a Schumer shutdown. I hope that when we put this clean continuing resolution on the floor that Democrats will come to their senses and do what is right.

Republicans "led" America right into a shutdown. To Republicans: it is your job to show up for the American people and work with us to pass a continuing resolution. My team and I will continue to support the people of IL-03 during this shutdown.

This is the unidentified staffer from Senator Mitch McConnell’s office who was frequently seen wheeling the Senator to the Senate floor for votes. During some past roll call votes in which the Senator was present, the votes themselves occurred off camera. If an elderly senator were ever mentally incapacitated or otherwise unable to make an independent voting decision, my concern is that a staffer could potentially influence or instruct that senator on how to vote. That possibility raises important questions about transparency and safeguards surrounding the voting process.

It is now Day 43 of Senator Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization, and I find it unlikely he will return to the Senate to vote tomorrow. This should concern every member of Congress. If a senator falls into a coma after a tragic accident, no family should face public pressure to withdraw life support simply to vacate a Senate seat. Congress should fix this constitutional gap with an amendment that provides a dignified process for prolonged incapacity.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump the government shutdown! "The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, ‘OK let’s accept their offer…’ Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump] said ‘No! No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week but the President said ‘no deal.’” This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN! Even Republicans are acknowledging it.

Desperate to cling to a narrative that was just shattered, Sunny Hostin is still insisting that Republicans were the ones who shut down the government and RAGES at Democrats for giving in: "This was a choice by Republicans to cut SNAP benefits! This was a choice by Republicans to cut ACA subsidies! This was a choice by the Republicans to gut the federal government and federal employment! Democrats had nothing to do with it! I want an opposition party! I think the Democrats caved! I think the Democrats let down the American people! (...) So, the bottom line is the Democrats went into this after a blue wave, the American people saying we do want the opposition. The working people want the Democratic Party to fight for them. And now they just caved and surrendered. I think Chuck Schumer, his days are over. If he cannot keep his caucus together, he needs to go! He needs to be replaced!"

Tonight on the Senate floor, I urged my colleagues to support the bipartisan continuing resolution I worked with members of both parties to craft as Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. After three unnecessary lapses in funding during the fiscal year 2026 cycle, putting the possibility of yet another harmful government shutdown off the table should be a priority for each and every one of us. This straightforward measure would keep the government funded through December 11, protect vital programs and services, and give Congress additional time to continue our work on bipartisan appropriations bills. We cannot allow another damaging shutdown to disrupt the lives of federal workers and the Americans who depend on their work.

My last vote ever in Congress was to keep the government funded and avert a government shutdown that would have harmed vulnerable communities. Today’s Republican Party is showing the dangers of oligarchy. The fight to uphold a democracy for and by the people continues.

🚨BREAKING: Rep. Sara Jacobs TORCHES Republicans for blaming Democrats for the shutdown: “They control the House, the Senate, and the White House. They’re responsible for keeping the government open. This is on them.” #TrumpShutdownBadForUS She’s not done 👇 Jacobs says Republicans WANT to shut down every part of government that helps people - then blame Democrats for it. “We are fighting to make sure that you can still pay your healthcare premiums, that you can still have access to quality healthcare. And Republicans are literally willing to shut down the government because they don't want to talk to us about how to do that.”

A Capitol Hill source sent me a Department of Energy hotline on S.1674, the Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025, which is Senator Mitch McConnell’s bill. That raises an obvious question: if Senator McConnell is still at George Washington University Hospital, how did this legislation move forward? Do Senate staff have the authority to advance legislation like this on behalf of a senator? I followed up with Senator Mitch McConnell’s communications director, Stephanie Penn, hoping to get answers and a response to the questions raised in my previous video. Specifically: Where did this legislation come from, and how was it approved if the senator remains hospitalized? Stephanie Penn had no response and walked into Senator Katie Britt’s office.

Senator John Fetterman just said the quiet part out loud: “Democrats really need to own the shutdown.” When CNN’s Jake Tapper asked who’s to blame for the shutdown and the expiration of SNAP benefits, Fetterman didn’t dodge...he looked inward. “For me, fundamentally, I’m [it’s] deeply, deeply distressing to know that 42 million Americans are going to lose their SNAP benefits.” “And now that’s one of the big reasons why I refused to shutting our government down.” “And again, I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown.” “I mean, we’re shutting it down, I know why they claim, because they want to address the tax credits, and I fully support that.” “I voted for all of their CRs, our CRs, every single time. And I refuse to put 42 million Americans in the kinds of food insecurity.” “Now, this is all all solved by just reopening our government, and the people are now paid.” “Now, if we are, we are the party that are fighting for working people. Now, as far as I’m aware, every single union that’s involved in this now is now demanding to us to reopen that. Those are that’s the side that I’m in through this.” “So it’s not something I support of, and I don’t want to be involved. And now we can find a way forward.” “It was wrong when the Republicans did it, and it’s wrong now that we seem to be driving it.”

BREAKING: Senator Kennedy just introduced a resolution that would PREVENT members of Congress from collecting a paycheck during a shutdown. "This resolution is about SHARED SACRIFICE," and says that he doesn't want to punish anyone by offering this, but Democrats LOVE to punish everyone they can if they think it hurts Trump too. The left has USED the leverage of pain trying to beat Trump. Their TDS is so severe that they have NO REGARD for how their actions hurt us.
