In case you missed it.

The Democrats are the bad guys.

What a stupid cartoon.

How many GOP senators voted for ending it? All of them.

How many Dems 8

Here is Gavin Newsom essentially saying he's sorry the government is reopening.

Well that’s even more proof the Dems failed but I certainly hope that America is reminded of what they did

It didn't even take 1 day. The news today is dominated by some Epstein files. No one is talking about the shutdown anymore.

Have to get that bad attention off of the democrats. Fallon had gone back to the east wing last night.

Hard to say who won with all the propaganda coming from both sides. We know who lost though, the American people. As usual.

Trump's shutdown cost US an extra $1 Billion per Day!!!!! Trump Lost!
Democrats won last weeks election & got the government to reopen & stop wasting billion on Trump's political shutdown stunt.

Who Won The Government Shut Down?​

Not the American people

Democrats gave the GOP what they wanted, and received none of their demands in return.
Speaks for itself.

The winners are the people who are going to be getting a paycheck again.

Politicians win. America loses

Tim Kaine: Why I Voted to End the Shutdown​

Government shutdowns are awful. People get laid off or lose critical services, citizens with questions about their tax refunds or Social Security benefits can’t get answers, air traffic grows chaotic and potentially even dangerous, and the economy suffers. It’s the responsibility of the president and Congress to do everything they can to avoid shutdowns — or if we are in one, to get out quickly.

That’s why, after 38 days of mounting economic pain, risks to Americans’ safety and no clear end in sight, I joined the bipartisan group initiated by Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Angus King of Maine, who had been working with Republicans to find a deal to end the latest government shutdown. I understand the earnest criticism from those who say that extending the shutdown, which began Oct. 1, would have forced Republicans to offer more concessions to Democrats on critical issues such as health care. But I was at the negotiating table, and I believe the chances of that were near zero.

From his perspective the R's were willing to inflict endless suffering on the country, all to avoid having a negotiation about impending, unaffordable ACA premiums. So he blinked. Who lost? Americans with ACA plans.
