Lol projection
btw, does intentionally starving Americans count as political violence?
yes, and the democrats minus fetterman and 1-2 others are doing it by voting no to pass the cr.... approve the etfs and re open the government... tomorrow ties the all time record.
Schumer for Prison
SNAP spending is mandatory, Trump is withholding it
More illegal impoundment
Dems: Republicans control every branch of government.
Reps: You're holding us hostage with the 60-vote threshold, you meanies!
Trump: Get rid of the 60-vote threshold, Republicans!
Reps: ...we can't, my lord...
Dems: [wave buh-bye to the main GOP talking point]
(background: Republican congress-critters hoping Trump will drop dead before he drags them all down with him)
(lol Trump echoing 2020 Trump blaming the Great COVID shutdown on Democrats)

cities and states are assuming the burden of governance for the failing 119th Congress
https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/geo...-water-shutoffATLANTA - Atlanta Mayor Andre ens has ordered an immediate pause on residential evictions and water shutoffs as the federal lapse in SNAP funding threatens to leave families without food assistance starting Nov. 1.
...The mayor’s administrative order directs the Department of Watershed Management to halt all residential water service terminations for unpaid bills through Jan. 31, 2026, or until the federal shutdown ends. It also instructs city housing partners, including the Atlanta Housing Authority, Invest Atlanta, the Fulton County/City of Atlanta Land Bank Authority, and Partners for Home, to suspend eviction filings and late fees in city-owned or city-funded housing for the same period.
Republicans in the US Congress can't or won't govern for some reason
projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/...If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)
it's kind of weird how Trump insisted on signing the 2020 stimmy checks, but has never (to my knowledge) mentioned since how his super-dole saved all our asses in 2020
in a sense, much of post-COVID Trump can be viewed as an attempt to take revenge for being forced against his breeding and temperament to be a benevolent and generous president, using his power to benefit everybody during an epochal global pandemic
...one that has not yet reached a conclusion
Rhode island Judge orders USDA to tap SNAP contingency funds by EOD on Wednesday at the latest
The court thanked the president for his willingness to follow the law
A federal judge in Rhode Island has acknowledged President Donald Trump’s “quick and definitive response” to a court ruling on Friday over Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit payments, describing the president’s involvement as “greatly appreciated.”
A footnote in the order acknowledges Trump’s involvement, noting the court’s recognition of his efforts to facilitate timely funding.
"The court greatly appreciates the president’s quick and definitive response to this court’s order and his desire to provide the necessary SNAP funding," U.S. District Court Judge John J. McConnell Jr. wrote in a court order on Saturday.https://www.newsweek.com/judge-prais...ments-10977974McConnell ruled that USDA must now ensure that SNAP benefits for November reach recipients in full by the end of Monday, November 3, or that partial payments be issued no later than the end of the day on Wednesday, November 5.
“There is no question that the congressionally approved contingency funds must be used now because of the shutdown,” the judge wrote.
Seal Duffy shutting down aviation before Thanksgiving is a nonzero possibility
Is it worth it for Republicans to continue to shield elite pedos and to starve Americans for political clout?
https://www.rawstory.com/flights/The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Friday, "A surge in callouts is straining staffing levels at multiple facilities, leading to widespread impacts" to half of its core 30 facilities facing staffing shortages. The agency also reported nearly 80% of its air traffic controllers were absent at its New York-area facilities.
"After 31 days without pay, air traffic controllers are under immense stress and fatigue," according to the FAA. "The shutdown must end so that these controllers receive the pay they’ve earned and travelers can avoid further disruptions and delays."
Expect the Schumer Shutdown to end this week AFTER the 2025 elections, conveniently.
Senator Boozman says the crypto bill (clarity act) will be passed on or before Thanksgiving 11/27/2025, hopefully sooner
Fixed. YOUR PARTY ARE THE ONES OBJECTIVELY VOTING NO. DO YOU HAVE A ING BRAIN OR NOT???!?
The House can go into session and start passing bills anytime it wants, this notion that everything depends on the CR in the Senate is balderdash -- but even if it were true, the Senate could nuke the filibuster and pass the CR
Dems don't have y'all handcuffed, dude
So, it looks like the conversation has gotten far afield of the central question—who’s actually responsible for the shutdown and when it’s going to end. The truth is, Democrats engineered this standoff by packaging unrelated partisan measures into a stopgap bill and then claiming moral high ground when conservatives refused to rubber-stamp it. They’ve taken what was meant to be a straightforward, temporary funding extension and weaponized it to advance permanent policy changes—turning a simple “keep the lights on” measure into a political hostage situation. Conservatives have been ready from day one to pass a clean Continuing Resolution, but the Left would rather force a crisis than lose leverage.
Democrats should listen to their own Messiah, the Right Reverend Diety, Barack Obama...
The latest Democratic talking point — “We just want affordable healthcare and for people to eat” — sounds noble, but it’s deliberately misleading. It frames the debate as if the only choices are compassion or cruelty, while quietly attaching massive long-term spending and power grabs under the cover of kindness.
Here’s what’s Democrats actually want put into the Clean CR in order to vote for it:
Permanent ACA Subsidies – The COVID-era subsidies were meant as temporary relief, yet now there’s a push to make them permanent — to the tune of $2–3 trillion over 10 years. And remember, those subsidies go to the insurance companies, not directly to the insured. There’s no guarantee that money reduces premiums or out-of-pocket costs for families.
Rolling Back Work Requirements – For both Medicaid and SNAP, Democrats want to reverse the modest work requirements that encourage able-bodied adults to stay in or return to the workforce.
Restoring Funding to NPR and PBS – Public broadcasting already enjoys a huge private donor base and corporate sponsorship. Why is taxpayer funding being prioritized in a supposed “emergency” bill?
Limiting Presidential Spending Authority – There’s an effort to block the White House from pausing or reviewing spending, which effectively strips future presidents — of either party — from exercising fiscal oversight.
Undoing $1.5 Trillion in Cuts – Recent Republican efforts to reduce spending through the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” are being directly targeted for reversal.
In short, what’s being slipped into a Continuing Resolution — a stopgap measure meant simply to keep government running — is a massive attempt to grow federal en lements, expand dependency systems, restore ideological spending, shield bureaucracies from accountability, strip executive control over spending, and cement policies designed to be irreversible later
This isn’t a debate about whether Americans should have food or healthcare — it’s a debate about whether Washington should keep exploiting crises to make temporary aid permanent and expand its own control. Like Barry says, "That's why we have elections."
Looks great.
You proved you don't give a about deficits or the debt, so what is your problem?
The Senate CR is stuck because Republicans refuse to make deals for the votes they need to pass it
Simple inability to govern
There, fixed it for you.
Interestingly - it appears the Democrats may be nearing the Finding Out from their ing Around.
Secretary Rollins Requires States to Provide Records on SNAP Benefits, Ensure Lawful Use of Federal Funds
Many (if not all) Democrat-controlled States have refused to account for my tax dollars. Secretary Collins suggested, even when government reopens, SNAP Funds may be withheld until States give an accounting of the funds.
Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01.
Why is he lying?
The emergency funds that Trump used last time are available.
Please explain why Trump is lying.
That's literally the only viable option, permanently ending the filibuster rather than reconciling since the Senate parliamentarian is a generic emilys list leftist fembot appointed by Obama and apparently can't be fired by Trump or the GOP (and the matters the left is shutting the government down with "No" votes aren't even all related to budget anyway)... and Yonivore's analysis is spot-on. Nuking the filibuster unfortunately can't be an executive order or a decision make solely by Thune, you'd literally need 51 yes votes to nuke the filibuster, you already know that Murkowski and Collins won't, you know old s like McConnell have been adamantly pro-filibuster so I doubt the GOP has the votes even if someone like Fetterman voted yes to end the filibuster, which is far from a guarantee since he's a) a Democrat at heart and b) waffled on the issue on his 2022 campaign trail against Oz...
