Two Weeks of the Democrat Government Shutdown | Senate Democrats have kept the government closed for two weeks -- voting seven times against a clean, NONPARTISAN, short-term continuing resolution. Each time, they voted against paying our troops, funding nutritional programs for women, infants, and children, and against reopening the U.S. government. | Despite these harmful impacts on American troops, federal workers, and families, Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer shamefully said, "Every day gets better for us." | As the Democrat Government Shutdown continues, Speaker Johnson has joined dozens of TV and radio shows and hosted numerous press conferences in the U.S. Capitol to discuss the harmful impacts of the shutdown and urge Senate Democrats to vote to reopen the government.
