Democrats’ shutdown rage erupts in call – “People are f**king pissed” – Axios

Democrats’ shutdown civil war spills out in private call

• By Andrew Solender

A private call of House Democrats devolved into a furious vent session Monday afternoon as lawmakers fumed about a group of Senate centrists cutting a deal with Republicans to end the shutdown.

Why it matters: Over a dozen House Democrats spoke on the call, with the vast majority slamming the deal, sources told Axios — a volume that reflects deep outrage between the two chambers.

• Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) said the public is incensed at what they see as Democrats caving on the shutdown fight, telling her colleagues, “People are f**king pissed.”
• Nearly “everyone [was] strongly against” the deal, said one House Democrat who was on the call but spoke on the condition of anonymity to share details of a private discussion.

Between the lines: It’s not just a fight between the House and Senate, with a growing number of House Democrats urging their colleagues to stop training their fire on fellow party members.

• House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) instructed members to keep the focus on health care and not on “a few individuals in the Senate,” according to three lawmakers who were on the call.
• Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.), the leadership representative for members in battleground districts, similarly told her colleagues to focus their shutdown-related attacks on Republicans, not Democrats.

State of play: House Democrats and liberal grassroots groups erupted into rage Sunday after a group of eight Senate Democrats voted to advance a bill to reopen the government.

• The deal the Democratic centrists struck with Republicans includes the promise of a Senate vote next month on renewing expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits.
• But the bill would need 60 votes to pass, and the deal doesn’t guarantee a House vote, making it unlikely Democrats will actually succeed in securing an extension.

Zoom in: Roughly half of those who spoke on Monday’s call either directly criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) or did so implicitly by agreeing with previous speakers who tore into him, sources said.

• Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the former chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, argued that either the Senate leader “can’t control his caucus” or he “gave his blessing” to the deal.
• A Schumer spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yes, but: Despite the widespread anger towards the deal among progressive and moderate House Democrats, some of the party’s most centrist members are expressing openness to voting for it.

• Just as the caucus call was getting started, Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), a retiring centrist who has openly opposed his party’s shutdown strategy, signaled he is supportive of the Senate deal.
• “Congressman Golden’s position on using a government shutdown as a legislative strategy has been clear and has not changed,” a spokesperson told Axios, while stressing his support for extending ACA tax credits.
• Lee said on the call that she, personally, is undecided on the bill even as Jeffries has said he opposes it and vowed to fight it.

What’s next: Jeffries vowed to fight the deal in the House and floated the possibility of a discharge petition to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits, sources said.

 Editor’s Note: Stay tuned.. more coming on this… a DWD Editorial.

Trump posts vulgar and racist AI video on government shutdown with Schumer saying: ‘Nobody likes Democrats anymore’

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, depicted wearing oversized sombrero and handlebar mustache, condemned video as ‘disgusting’

By Josh Marcus, in San Francisco, Tuesday 30 September 2025 07:35 EDT

Trump posts bizarre deepfake government shutdown video showing Schumer saying: ‘Nobody likes Democrats anymore‘

President Donald Trump on Monday posted a profane, apparently AI-modified video of Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, mocking the White House’s main negotiating partners as the government heads towards a looming shutdown.

In the video, the digitally altered Schumer says, “nobody likes Democrats anymore” because of “all of our woke trans bulls***,” before erroneously claiming Democrats support giving undocumented immigrants healthcare because the party needs “new voters.”

In Trump’s deepfake clip, a silent Jeffries stands alongside the senator wearing a sombrero and handlebar mustache.

The video appears to be a reference to the misleading GOP claim that Democrats are threatening to shut down the government unless an agreement can be reached to fund healthcare for undocumented people.

Illegal immigrants are not able to access most federally backed healthcare. Democrats are instead pushing to keep a set of expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, which are not available to undocumented people, as well as other health funding that can go to “lawfully present” immigrants.

Jeffries and his fellow Democrats condemned the White House video, with the House leader calling the clip a “malignant distraction from people who are determined to continue to rip healthcare away” in an interview with MSNBC on Monday night.

“It’s a disgusting video and we’re gonna continue to make clear bigotry will get you nowhere,” Jeffries said. “We are fighting to protect the healthcare of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault.”

On X, meanwhile, Jeffries posted a genuine photo of Trump and his former friend the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, with the caption, “This is real.”

Rep. Ro Khanna of California joined his Democratic colleague, telling CNN the video was “abnormal” and not befitting the seriousness of the political moment at hand.

“You don’t mock someone and put a video out about how they look,” he said. “You don’t ever mock people’s ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?”

Khanna also pointed to the Trump administration’s repeated attempts not to spend already approved congressional money as another factor confounding normal negotiations around the shutdown.

Sen. Roger Marshall, Republican of Kansas, defended the president’s video, saying the comments in the clip were “said in jest” and meant to toy with the press “like a little boy” taunting a dog with a flashlight.

“I think it’s the president making fun of a couple of people who didn’t bring a serious offer to the White House,” Marshall told CNN.

The Independent has contacted the White House for comment.

Despite a meeting on Monday between Vice President JD Vance, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Jeffries and Schumer, the parties appear no closer to an agreement to avert the shutdown, which is slated to begin late Tuesday.

Rep #HakeemJeffries of NY, the #Democratic leader, just went past the 6-hour mark on his floor speech. He condemned #Republicans for an “all-out assault on law-abiding #immigrant #families,” including #AmericanCitizens, saying it was “unconscionable, unacceptable & it’s un-American.” The #OneBigBeautifulBill includes about $175 billion for the #Trump admin to boost #immigration *enforcement* & border security.

WASHINGTON (AP) — "#Republicans in Congress are moving with rapid speed to advance President Donald Trump’s big bill of #TaxBreaks, #SpendingCuts and beefed-up border security funding as leaders work to enact many of his campaign promises.

"House committees have been laboring for months to draft the legislation, which Republicans have labeled 'THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,' a nod to Trump himself. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to approve the package and send it to the Senate by Memorial Day.

"Democrats say they will fight what House party leader #HakeemJeffries calls 'this extreme and toxic bill.' "

I would love to see this in the U.S. House, with Democrats voting with moderate Republicans to pick a moderate R as speaker. Do you see that happening? #USHouse #SpeakerStandoff #McCarthy #HakeemJeffries

Is it possible that #HakeemJeffries gets a few republican votes and becomes speaker? #SpeakerStandoff #speaker

In addition to Hakeem Jeffries as caucus chair, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar should also be outstanding D leaders. I understand Aguilar will take on responsibilities around messaging, a key role considering the unforgiving (read: biased) media climate. I understand Jim Clyburn will be part of the team as assistant leader. That sounds like a promising leadership group. Republicans, meanwhile, can't even spell leadership.
