When the budget expired, Republicans voted to extend the current budget while we negotiate a new one. Democrats, on the other hand, said, “We’ll shut down government unless you give us $1.5 TRILLION, and we’ll tell you how to spend it.” That’s why we’re in a shutdown.

Republicans promised to secure the border. WE DID IT. Republicans promised to stop the largest tax hike in history. WE DID IT. Democrats’ promise? Shut down the government unless they get $1.5 trillion in new spending. That’s the difference.

🚨LMAO!! Sen. John Kennedy (R) describes the government shutdown PERFECTLY! 😂 "We said, Let's vote to keep it open for six weeks. They said NO! We'll shut it down unless you give us $1.5 TRILLION. We said, That will happen when DONKEYS FLY!"

Democrats voted to shut down the government over a dozen times. This is the Democrats' shutdown in every way. WATCH: RNC Senior Advisor Danielle Alvarez: "It is very simple; it takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass a budget."

🚨BOOM: Cory Booker was asked if Democrats are willing to “shut down the government” by refusing to back Trump’s budget. His answer was PERFECT: “If there’s a shutdown, Republicans control the WH and Congress. That’s on THEM. I’m not voting for a budget that hurts Americans.”

We’re not asking our Democratic colleagues to sell a kidney. We’re just asking them to re-open the government. I’ve voted to fund the government 13 times now, but Sen. Schumer is keeping it shut down until we spend $1.5 TRILLION more and gut the One Big Beautiful Bill.

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.

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.

In 2013, Democrats said they would not negotiate on healthcare while the government is closed. So what’s changed? Why should Republicans negotiate on what were supposed to be temporary, emergency, COVID subsidies Democrats put in place all while the government is shut down? Let’s have those hard conversations, but we need to open the government first.

Sen. Chuck Schumer says Republicans in the Senate didn’t consult Democrats on the budget. If true, then good. Do it without them. Nothing Senate Democrats offer should be considered. They’re awful and their ideas terrible. Let Schumer shut down the government. We’ll be fine.

They’d rather shut it down to fight for global censorship bullshit. They’ve asked for a shutdown, and that’s exactly what they’re going to get." Source: Kit Maher

The deadline to fund the government is just one week away. Democrats are fighting to reverse Republicans' cuts to Medicaid and protect your access to healthcare. Republicans are refusing to negotiate. They would rather shut the government down than give you healthcare.

Trump Using Shutdown in a Way ‘No Other President Ever Has’ Before Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell joined NEWSMAX to discuss the ongoing government shutdown, saying, “We’re really at a standstill here,” and continuing that “Republicans have said repeatedly they will not negotiate until Democrats vote to reopen the government.” Mitchell added that the director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, has taken this “as an opportunity to cut waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal government.” Democrats, on the other hand, are insistent that they will not pass the CR until Affordable Care Act subsidies are added.

JD Vance is blaming Democrats for Trump’s government shutdown. That’s BS. What he didn’t tell you? Senate Republicans voted against our bill to reopen the government and prevent a health care crisis FOUR TIMES. The truth: They’d rather keep it shut than lower health care costs.

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.

Meiselas: "When you spend $1.5 trillion on a military budget, it kind of becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that you're going to be engaged in wars. And when you go from the Department of Defense to the Department of War, you're saying that you're a warmonger."

Republicans are working to keep government open. Democrats are working to shut it down. Why? Because Dems care more about their $1.5 trillion liberal wishlist than the American people.

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.

Senate Democrats shut the government down in favor of $1.5 TRILLION in new spending…and to prove they can fight President Trump. This shutdown is all about politics and only harms the American people.
