As you know, Republicans held the Senate in session all weekend. The pressure relentlessly piled up until the cracks became irresistible. By late afternoon yesterday, eight “centrist” Democrats defied their party and voted with Republicans to invoke cloture and end debate on a 90-day continuing resolution. Republicans only gave them a couple minor modifications, related to back pay and re-hiring federal workers fired during the shutdown’s first weeks.
But Democrats completely surrendered on their single claimed reason for forcing the country to endure 40 days of nonsense and angst. There will be no Obamacare subsidies. No participation trophy. Not even a cracker.
Cue faux outrage. Senator Bernard “Bernie” Sanders, 99, croaked, “Tonight, eight Democrats voted with the Republicans. And to my mind, this was a very, very bad vote.” Newly elected “centrist” governor of New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill, called it “malpractice.” Gavin Newsom groaned, “America deserves better.” USA Today’s headline blared, “It’s Democrat vs. Democrat as shutdown nears end.”
It sure looks that way. It looks like a Donkey Cage Match. Even though Senate Minority Leader Chuck “Chuckie” Schumer voted against the bill, House Representative Ro Khanna (D-Ca.) hotly demanded Schumer’s resignation:
“Eight Democrat senators, Durbin, Hassan, King, Cortez Masto, Kaine, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman, have joined 52 Republicans in a procedural vote to reopen the government.”
“SCOOP: US Intel Confirms Vast Quantities of Aid Are Moving Into Gaza, Undercutting Hamas Propaganda — Hamas claims Israel is blocking food & medical supplies in bid to undermine ceasefire, distract from terror group’s looting of aid trucks, offls tell me”
“NEW: This the $2.5 mil, 4,316-square-foot family home of Lina Maliha Khan, the ethnic-Pakistani socialist who’s leading Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. Her corporate exec parents sent her to Yale. Now she hates capitalism and is pushing socialism on all New Yorkers.”
“The BBC’s top organizational and news leadership have resigned in disgrace over its flagship news program that deceptively edited a Trump speech to make him sound like he was urging violence.”
“Literally all of the whining hall monitors were Never Trump in 2016, and De Santis backers in the 2024 primary. Pure social climbers, every one of them, who’d be sucking up to Jeb Bush if he happened to be in power today. They are all going to oppose @JDVance in 2028, just watch.”
“The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy.
No matter how bad the service is at your DMV (sorry to pick on DMVs), you still have to use your DMV, because it’s a monopoly.”
“ICE arrests so-called “non-criminal” illegal alien who is actually a wanted killer and gang member.
While the media will report Antonio Israel Lazo-Quintanilla’s only “crime” in the United States is driving without a license, this illegal alien is wanted in El Salvador for AGGRAVATED HOMICIDE, extortion, possession of drugs, and a litany of other felonies. He is a confirmed member of the 18th Street Gang.
Lazo-Quintanilla may lack a violent rap sheet in the U.S. but this criminal illegal alien is clearly a public safety threat. The media’s false claims that ICE is not arresting the worst of the worst could not be further from the truth.”
I was just watching the Senate in session voting on things to bring the government back open. I am becoming more familiar with the names of the Senators thanks to the shutdown.
