The United States Government Has Shut Down — Page 2

Just got this information watching "The View" this morning:

According to Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) on CNN, the calls coming into her office are tracked. 60% of all calls from her constituents (both R and D) are saying they support the ACA subsidies.

The recommendation offered this morning on "The View" is to call the Congressional Switchboard @ (202) 224-3121 and ask to speak with your Congress person. When you are transferred, or if you get transferred to VM, LEAVE A MESSAGE to voice your opinion.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene (a very staunch pro-Trump Republican) can advocate for supporting the ACA subsidies, your Congress person can, too.

Please give a call and keep calling. The inclusion/retention of ACA subsidies are the sticking point for why the Republicans have shut down our Government.

"Day 36, and we are in the longest shutdown of the United States Government in our country's history. Great job, MAGAts. You must be very proud."

Not sure if you blocked me but I will go ahead anyway. Actually, it is great job Chuckie (Schumer). You made millions of people suffer because you would not vote for the same CR you voted for in March to keep government open. No problem with you fighting for Obamacare but negotiate with the government open. I don't want to hear about "leverage BS" when people are not getting paid or receiving their benefits. It looks like government will re-open again because a handful of Democratic Senators did the right thing finally. The sad thing is that we will all be in the same boat again when the CR ends in January.

For the umpteenth. Bloody. Time. CHUCK SCHUMER NEEDS TO GO

If you can't fight for millions of Americans receiving healthcare, what good are you?

"Republicans could have reopened the government at any time.

They nuked the filibuster for judges. They could have done the same here."

Actually, Democratic Majority leader Harry Reid was the first one to nuke the filibuster when he did it to get federal judges confirmed. Senator Mitch McConnell warned Reid that he may regret that decision someday when Democrats did not have the majority. Sure enough, payback is a bitch. Senator McConnell nuked the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees when he became majority leader which allowed the Court to become conservative.

The Democrats when Biden was POTUS talked about totally getting rid of the filibuster. Republicans fought not to allow it to happen and think they got Democratic Senator Joe Mancin to vote with them. Most Republicans believe and I agree it is one of the few tools the minority have not to get steamrolled by majority rule all the time. Current Senate Majority leader Thune said he would not get rid of it even to open the government, stood up to Trump who was pushing for it.

Oh, don't ever hate to disagree with me James, I respect your opinion here and always have. I would love new blood as well. New, young leadership is what our party desperately needs. Chuck is getting old and he should think about retiring, but the pain of the American people was just getting worse and worse. I understand why the 8 people did what they did, and we need the government open for a million different reasons. My beautiful friend who works in a warehouse is having a lot of difficulty feeding her two children because, in a first world Nation, the GOP would rather have people starve to death than compromise and act like professional adults.

They should buy Thanksgiving dinners for every one of their constitutes with the $30,000 paycheck they received for November and disappear forever. To go into public service, to promise to WORK for the people in America, and then fight like hell to make sure they go hungry? To go to court to make people who live in poverty suffer more? It makes me incredibly angry. So goddamn angry.

They should all be drawn and quartered and once again, such a shame Mr.Crooks missed. Because if he had not? Our country would not be completely ruined today. It would never have been shut down, and the Harris Administration would be taking care of Americans and not destroying everyone's lives. But, as always, the stupid, ignorant, uneducated men in this Country (of all races) were too chicken sh*t to vote for a woman. May they forever regret their decision and suffer catastrophically.

Sutton, I think if there’s one silver lining to all this it’s what you said above: the blame for this entire mess lies squarely on the GOP. If Democrats are smart, they’ll spend the next 12 months making sure the electorate never forgets it.

So we're still going with the Democrats' umpteenth chorus of "Our hands are tied". Cool.

Both sides have done nothing to help the American people. it's a sh!t bill that does nothing except reopen the governement so those federal employees can start getting paid again. This is only a band-aid until Jan. 30 when it'll get shutdown again.

The bill would fund the government through Jan. 30 and provide funding for some government agencies for the remainder of the fiscal year.

On this Veterans Day, I cannot adequately describe the disgust I felt to see our Draft Dodging Wannabe Dictator speak at Arlington National Cemetery ceremonies. His very presence in that hallowed space was a dishonor to all those who offered up their lives, and continue to do so, to our beautiful Country. We MUST return to the Democracy we love.

DO NOT STOP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT !!I

"Thank You" to Gary Sinise. He is a true hero within our military communities. And "Thank You" as well, Sutton Ross, for sharing your very personal and inspiring story.

Yes, it's disgusting what the GOP has done, allowing this horror and chaos, and still collecting their checks from their couches and doing absolutely nothing for the people they promised to serve. Bone chilling.

Thank you for all you and your family have done, and thank you for donating to his foundation, his work with Vets and their families are second to none. Stay strong.

Representative Grijalva has FINALLY been sworn into Congress. She will now sign the Epstein discharge petition. Again, FINALLY.
