The Republicans created this situation when they used the nuclear option to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, which created the CR at the center of the current shutdown, with a simple majority of 51, meaning not even all Republican Senators voted in favor of it. They did this knowing it would lead to an eventual deadline where they would either need Democrat votes or to use the nuclear option to avoid a shutdown.
Republicans are refusing to use the nuclear option which would allow them to end the shutdown right now.
Republicans are refusing to make any concessions at all to Democrats to entice them to vote for the CR the Republicans are forcing through.
The Republican Speaker of the House is refusing to call the House into session until the shutdown ends, meaning even if Senate Republicans wanted to make concessions, they can't because they would need to be sent to the House for approval before they could be ratified.
Everything I've posted here is objectively true, and the only responses to this will either be personal attacks, deflection, or whataboutism.

The government is shutdown because Adelita Grijalva can force a vote on the Epstein files but she has to be sworn in. On the campaign trail, Grijalva promised to sign onto a bipartisan petition to force a vote in the House to release the Epstein files. It's a departure for Johnson, who has previously sworn in new members from both parties within days of winning their races.https://www.npr.org/2025/10/16/g-s1-93709/adelita-grijalva-mike-johnson-swearing-inRepublicans are covering for pedophiles. Period.

They really think MAGA is incredibly stupid.
Johnson is claiming that AZ's new rep needs to stop whining about getting sworn in and do her job, which she can't do because she's not sworn in yet.

Food stamps are cut but the 200 million ballroom and 1 billion jet refitting are still on. Probably an awesome corporate tax cut coming too.
