Democrats Cave on Government Funding,

Will Receive Nothing for Ending Schumer Shutdown

19 Nov 2025 ~~ By Bradley Jaye

A disastrous shutdown for Democrats got worse Sunday when Senate Democrats folded on government funding while receiving nothing of substance in return.
Eight Senate Democrats voted with 42 Republicans Sunday night on a procedural vote to allow a continuing resolution (CR) funding the government to advance.
The motion passed 60 to 40, without a single vote to spare, and will enable a future vote on a clean continuing resolution through January 30, 2026, packaged with three relatively non-controversial appropriations bills extending through the fiscal year: agriculture, military construction-Veterans Affairs, and legislative branch.
The agreement includes back pay for federal employees and guarantees that the 4,000-plus federal employees laid off during the shutdown will be rehired, as well as a blanket prohibition on future reductions in force through January 30. Those jobs are a drop in the bucket compared to the 250,000 or so the Trump administration eliminated before the shutdown.
Most significantly, the agreement does not guarantee an extension of Covid-era enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies, with Democrats only receiving assurances of a vote on a bill of their choice.
“As I have said for weeks to my Democrat friends, I will schedule a vote on their proposal, and I have committed to having that vote no later than the second week in December,” Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said on the Senate floor before the vote.

In a sign of how toxic the shutdown end will be for Democrats, no Democrat senators who voted Sunday to begin the process of reopening the government are up for reelection in 2026.
~Snip~
The Senate must receive unanimous consent on time agreements to enable speedy passage, but a vote on final passage is likely by the middle of the week. The amended bill must then pass the House.

Commentary:
Sounds like DJT is causing them to grow a bit of a spine. At least he is showing them what a spine looks like.
Great headline and generally good news:
BUT......."The agreement includes back pay for federal employees and guarantees that the 4,000-plus federal employees laid off during the shutdown will be rehired, as well as a blanket prohibition on future reductions in force through January 30. "
Those fed workers who did not work should not be getting.
Next on the list of "To Do" items, a new bill must go through congress that states NO PAY FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS anytime they shut down the government. It could be a one page bill, no big committee needed to write that, no carve outs.....just plain NO WORK,

Voters say President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are more to blame for the ongoing government shutdown, according to a new NBC News poll. But their verdict on the spending stalemate includes more blame for Democrats than some past shutdowns, part of a growing collection of data outlining negative views of both parties.

The survey, conducted Oct. 24-28, finds a combined 52% of voters blame Trump and congressional Republicans for the stalemate, while 42% blame Democrats in Congress and 4% blame all of the players.


I wonder how the millions of Repub trump voters are going to feel when they can't afford health insurance any longer, watch their rural hospitals close, and learn about relatives who lost their Medicaid coverage. All of which are on Don.

Nice job cherrypicking the one poll showing your point, and only showing it barely.

Here's what happened. Democrats won big last week. We see no need to shut down the government now. We will just take back over in 2027.

Here are the traitors though who caved

  • Dick Durbin (Ill.)
  • Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.)
  • Maggie Hassan (N.H.)
  • Jackie Rosen (Nev.)
  • Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.)
  • John Fetterman (Pa.)
  • Tim Kaine (Va.)
  • Angus King (I-Maine), who caucuses with Democrats

No, they didn't. They showed how much they hate this country.
 
An intelligent man learns from his mistakes.

A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.

I saw how this ended for Republicans when they shut down the government.

This outcome was a forgone conclusion for anyone with critical thinking skills.

So is this outcome as a result of the BBB.

AI Overview

Yes, rural hospitals are closing due to a combination of financial instability, declining populations, and workforce shortages. Financial issues include lower occupancy rates, a higher number of uninsured or Medicaid patients, and insufficient Medicare reimbursement.

NBC is not trustworthy

Here’s a respected poll that finds it pretty down the line on blame but now we know the Dems take responsibly


Nothing in the CR impacted Medicare and Medicaid…anyone that said so is a liar

But at least they managed to completely enrage their lunatic asylum of a base in the process.

Good job, Dems.

Rand Paul, Liberturdian scumbag extraordinaire, voted against it. The only Republican to do so. Of course. Liberturdians are scumbags. Gutless scumbags.

I think they're gonna roll back Trump's furlough of all the useless scumbags that pollute the goobermint workforce. Of which, about 70% are unnecessary.

They're the same scum (150,000 live in Virginia) that voted for the guy that wanted to murder the children of his Republican opponent. Trump saying the word '*****' is the End of The World but a dimocrap piece of ******* shit wanting to murder his opponent's children is okie-doke.

Sounds like it, but only for the ones furloughed since the shutdown began.

It won't negate any other previous DOGE cuts.
