Takes a vote of 60 in the senate to pass the budget. They can’t achieve that without Dems.
Adam Schiff has a non rage YouTube where he puts out short little updates. He did one on the shutdown yesterday.
Schiff even went so far as to add a Vader clip to describe current negotiation tactics. That was new. Usually he just sits in a chair and talks to the camera.

It makes every bit of sense to reference vader in this current government. Even if you get an agreement with trump to fund the things you want to fund, the way he is operating right now he can just impound the funds anyway and send them off to wherever else he wants.
There’s no point in negotiating with this president or this congress when they let this president impound whatever he likes, fund whatever he likes, and then get a series of high fives and “no notes” decisions from the supreme court for doing so.
They have absolutely no incentive to negotiate when the deals are toilet paper, and no incentive to vote for continuing to fund a government that currently doesn’t fund itself according to its laws.
They should allow it to shut down until the constitutional order is restored (which may be never). The repubs can change the senate rules and nuke the last vestiges of the filibuster to reopen the government with a simple majority. Democrats should force them to do so.
Have you gotten the texts today? They’re unhinged. The banner texts on the .gov site, unhinged.
It’s like hearing that kid from high school, forever in detention or on suspension, the kid with severe anger management issues that scared everyone such that he had no friends, argue his case, loudly, when no one asked for it.
It never made sense, it was always more juvenile than the class around him, but he persisted anyway like he was the only sane person at that grade level.
That’s this administration. Fucking weird and really scary, at best.
The man talked to a room of 800+ generals about how he walks up and down stairs carefully. And that the reason nobody respects America is because Biden fell on stairs.
For the men there that have been too busy to do much in direct contact with Trump, I bet this caused a bit of a stomach drop. This is the reality of the man in charge.
Sure, but being in the same room with it is a whole other level. Paired with Hegseth, and his speech, that must have negative impact.
Worse, to be a hardcore military man of the general or admiral level of commitment, and be told now we’re going to test your loyalty, prepare the polygraphs. I cannot imagine a bigger insult.

Trump has ordered Republicans not to negotiate with Democrats because a shutdown gives him more power to fire people from the executive branch.
He was firing people regardless. I think this admin had long since proven that they do not care about federal employees.
But the shutdown gives him more latitude. He wants the shutdown.

If there was anyone in that room who didn’t already realize he’s a demented idiot, I doubt their opinion changed.

People keep saying this, but it isn’t true in of itself. It requires 51 through budget reconciliation.

The Republicans not going through with it aren’t doing so because they want to include things that do not pertain to the budget.
