Oh look, it’s everyone who voted for a government shutdown in one photo. The Shutdown Selfie.
House Democrats are in DC and ready to cancel the cuts, lower the costs, save health care.

You’ve voted 12 times in a row against responsibility - pretty rich coming from you.
Americans deserve a government that works as hard as they do—not a president that flies out of town and away from responsibility at the time they need one most.

Did @POTUS vote 12 times in a row to keep the government shut down? Oh, wait, that was you. 🤡
Most people get fired if they don't show up to work. @SpeakerJohnson and House Republicans? They've been AWOL for WEEKS — enjoying a long, paid vacation as Trump's shutdown continues and American families face soaring health care costs. What a disgrace.

Another Democrat shill spreading lies. How sad.
People are about to be hit with one of the biggest premium hikes in over a decade and Trump/Republicans would rather keep the federal government closed than do anything about it

How did you vote on the clean, nonpartisan, non-controversial Continuing Resolution? Oh, wow. You voted NO. I am shocked!
Mike Johnson doesn’t have a plan to end this shutdown. He doesn’t actually care about what’s happening to American families. He only answers to one person: Donald Trump. Trump can end this shutdown today by calling up Mike Johnson and ordering him to cut a deal.

Democrats: “TAX THE RICH. MAKE THEM PAY MORE TO THE GOVERNMENT.” Also Democrats: “HOW DARE A RICH PERSON GIVE MORE MONEY TO THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY THE TROOPS!”
Breaking News: The U.S. military accepted a private donation of $130 million to help pay troops during the shutdown. The move is highly unusual and a potential violation of federal law.

Chuck Schumer wants ONLY four people to go into a smoke-filled back room — in private, behind the backs of the American people — to cut some shady deal. That’s NOT how this works. I promised to end Congress’ bad habit of backroom, shadowy politics. I REFUSE to cut secret deals

24 days of political games at the expense of everyday Americans.
24 days into the Senate Democrat Government Shutdown. Democrats have voted 12 times now to keep the government closed and essential services defunded. It’s unacceptable that Democrats would put partisan priorities before American citizens.

When Democrats say they want the government open — it’s a LIE - proven by the fact they have voted to KEEP IT CLOSED 13 TIMES. Last week, Senate Democrats voted against paying our troops. Yesterday, they voted against paying essential federal workers. They don’t want the

You voted for this.
Sharing your stories of how the Republican shutdown is affecting you and your families is one of the most powerful actions we can take right now. I’m grateful to every constituent who has spoken up and shared their story with me.

Didn’t you vote 12 times in a row to keep the government shut down? That’s shameful.
Yesterday I cosponsored a bill that would have paid military members during this shut down. GOP Senators shot it down, refusing even to let it get to the floor. Shameful.

No matter how many times you say "Republican shutdown", nobody believes you. Tell your Senate Democrat colleagues to grow a spine and reopen the government.
Our country’s public servants are being forced to work without pay and some are even being fired because of the Republican shutdown. Federal workers deserve to be paid, and the American people deserve an end to this Republican shutdown.

The Democrat hostage situation must end. The only responsible thing to do is support our clean CR and reopen the government.
CNN: "You can really just feel the building and building pressure on the air travel community as this shutdown goes on." "...There have been 210 staffing shortages that have occurred since the shutdown began." Democrats see this cruel punishment as political "leverage."

WATCH and LISTEN to their own words as Democrats ADMIT what their shutdown is really about: Hardworking Americans are being made to suffer so that Democrats can gain favor with the radical Left—and reinstate free health care to illegal aliens.

CHUCK, PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR OWN ADMONITION (…in all previous shutdowns, before you decided to use the American people as pawns so you can pander to the radical Marxists in NY). You KNOW this isn’t right!
2013. Chuck Schumer scolds Republicans for threatening a government shutdown over a healthcare debate. "There's a time and place for everything. To hold everything hostage...it's wrong substantively, it's wrong politically."
