Three Democrats joined Republicans and voted with us because they know a shutdown hurts Americans. It's not about which party wins or loses or who gets blamed. This is about opening the government back up for the American people.

To Democrats, this is just a political game. Chuck Schumer told the press yesterday that “every day gets better for us.” To Republicans, this is not about which party wins or loses. This is about getting the government open for the American people.

The government shutdown is all about saving Schumer’s rear end. The Democrats have voted 13 times to keep the government closed. They don’t give a damn about the people they represent. Republicans have voted 13 times to open the government, pay federal employees, and get back to work for Americans.

Nobody wins in a government shutdown, not Republicans, not Democrats, and certainly not the American people who are left paying the price for Senate Democrats’ dysfunction.

Government shutdowns hurt everybody, and it doesn't matter which party wins or loses. This is about what's in the best interest of the American people, and that's getting the government open again.

This government shutdown isn’t better for anybody, Democrats or Republicans. It’s not about that. It’s about stopping Americans’ health costs from skyrocketing in a couple months, which is what will happen if we do not act.

It’s almost comical how Democrats are STILL trying to blame Republicans for their own shutdown. Republicans have DONE OUR JOB and voted to fund the government. Democrats have voted NO more than a dozen times—because they fear the radical left in their base more than they care about hungry families or unpaid workers. This is the DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN — everyone knows it.

This government shutdown isn’t about winning and losing or Democrats and Republicans. It’s about whether people all over the country can afford their health care premiums.

This is what the Trump government shutdown is about. Republicans are for protecting billionaires and pedophiles — and Democrats are for protecting all other Americans. This is not complicated. 😳👇

"What do you want people in Washington, D.C. to know about the shutdown...?" "Hurry up and get the job done—and worry about THE PEOPLE, not about themselves." Democrats have ignored the cries of the American people and voted 13 times to keep the government shut down. Shameful.

The American people deserve a transparent appropriations process—which is what Republicans are working to deliver. It’s time for Democrats to join us to end the Schumer shutdown and reopen government for the American people.

Who is to blame for the government shutdown? Just check the receipts. ✅ Republicans voted 8 times to keep the government funded and pay our troops ❌ Democrats voted NO 8 times While Democrats play politics and hold the government hostage, the American people suffer.

I voted YES to keep the government open and working for the American people. Sadly, Democrats chose a Schumer Shutdown, putting Americans last.

Americans blame Republicans and Trump for the shutdown because this is their shutdown. They own all of the government. This is on them.

Democrats really underestimate us Republicans! They think by having this government shutdown which has lasted about a week so far, has us by the balls. We outlasted a 4 year government shutdown under Biden and still came up on top!🙌🏾🇺🇸❤️

.Leader John Thune: "What's interesting now is some of the Democrats are joining us. Our vote last night was a bipartisan vote. There were 3 Democrats that came over and voted with us because they know this strategy is a losing one — and it HURTS the American people."

David Sacks: Democrats are thwarting deportations to gain electoral power via the census David Sacks "This is not about principle. This is bare knuckle politics. The Democrats are playing for keeps. They don’t really care how many innocent Americans get hurt or killed in the process. This is about thwarting a popular policy of deportations and sealing the border which the American people voted for. So don’t let the media fool you."

Today, House Republicans did our job and voted to keep the government funded while 212 House Democrats voted for a shutdown. Now, Senate Democrats have to decide if they want to do the right thing or if they’ll join House Democrats and shut down the government.

So far three of my Democrat colleagues have joined Republicans to attempt to reopen the government. If we can get just a few more Democrats to join us, we can end this shutdown and get back to bipartisan appropriations work and the business of the American people.
