CW: Uspol hot take
The shutdown has very little to do with the current distribution of power and everything to do with how the US public funding process is deeply and thuroughly broken.
I have not seen any other country close down their airspace and make public workers starve because of political disagreement.
This cannot be fixed through iterative process -- radical reform is required. Congress as a whole is responsible for not doing so.
For shame.

#Democrats have once again proven that they'll gladly sell their own mothers to Republicans for nothing but pinkie promises. I guess we all knew those spineless fuckers would cave eventually.
Anyway, say goodbye to any kind of affordable healthcare. #uspol #shutdown2025

There's going to be more steps before this is over. IT IS NOT YET OVER, THERE IS ONE MORE 60-PERSON VOTE.

TIM KAINE (VA)
MAGGIE HASSAN (NH)
JEANNE SHAHEEN (NH)
JACKY ROSEN (NV)RIGHT NOW. Not tomorrow, NOW. They need to see an ERUPTION of fury.

"Is the shutdown over? Not yet. Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5. There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, and then the House. Nothing has reopened. Pressure matters right now—especially on (Tim Kaine, VA), (Maggie Hassan, NH), (Jeanne Shaheen, NH), and (Jacky Rosen, NV)."
Stay loud.

Tim Kaine (VA)

Volunteers Step In to Help Understaffed #NOAA Track #HurricaneMelissa
Staffing cuts and a federal #government #shutdown2025 are stretching scientists’ ability to make valuable #hurricane observations.
Because of the federal government #shutdown that has now stretched on for a month, smaller-than-normal crews have been staffing NOAA’s #hurricanehunter missions. Crews that sometimes numbered 15 to 18 now include about 10 or 11 people

„By now it’s the longest shutdown in history, and people come to me and say no one makes such beautiful shutdowns like me. I actually think I make the best shutdowns, nicer than the communists Obama and Biden did, but I don’t get any thanks for it. That’s ok, but I think people should be more grateful, because ….. cowfefe”

Day 23 of the Trump/Republican shutdown - and the Republican national debt.
- GOP led House of Representatives remains in hiding
- Trump is tearing down a significant portion of the White House after having trashed the Oval Office.
- US Republican debt hits $38 trillion (that’s 38,000 billion dollars)The US national debt in 1980 was $908 billion.
The $38 trillion debt is directly due to Republican fiscal policy since 1980, the year Ronal Regan (GOP) was elected.
45 years of Republican tax cuts for the rich and corporations is a primary reason for the US debt.
GOP economic policies have failed. They failed to achieve any stated goal they were enacted to address.

Shutdown Update; Senate Votes, Oct. 10, 2025 · by Amy West
Shutdown Update
Still going.
The Senate voted for a seventh time on the two competing continuing resolutions in front of it to allocate funds to federal agencies (one Democratic, one Republican) and both failed again to reach the Senate’s 60-vote threshold. It’s possible that Republicans are beginning to soften their positions. On X, Igor Bobic posted about Democrats’ ask to extend expiring health care subsidies:
“[Sen.] Tillis says a deal on ACA subsidies wouldn’t be hard once government is funded, with mix of retiring senators & those up for reelection. “You’re telling me you can’t find eight people that could walk the plank?” “As a veteran plank-walker, it’s not near as bad as it seems””
One might reasonably ask why not walk the plank now in order to end the shutdown? However, if Senate Republicans have been asked this kind of question, no one has publicly recorded their responses.
(By the way, in a previous post we incorrectly wrote that these subsidies would affect low-income Americans. But that was wrong: It would affect middle class Americans who get health care through the ACA marketplace exchanges.)
The House remains in recess. Many House Democrats are in D.C. anyway to make a messaging point and to push Speaker Johnson on why Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva hasn’t been sworn in yet. Earlier this year, Republican representatives-elect Patronis (FL-1) and Fine (FL-6) were sworn in immediately after election while the House was in recess. Why won’t Johnson swear her in? Punchbowl takes a stab at answering the question. Maybe it’s not about Epstein files; maybe Johnson is just really committed to this stop-work action he’s making the House take during the shutdown. A few Republican House members are expressing dissatisfaction with Johnson’s strategy.

Day 4 of the Republican/Trump shutdown
"A moment of reckoning comes for every bully, strongman, and dictator. Always. See History. GNR”, #DailyKos
"Nobody likes a bully. Not even the human parasites who lurk by his side, snickering nervously as he picks on people who are (temporarily) unable to defend themselves. In the end, the bully has no friends or allies. Everyone fears and despises him, biding their time until the bully is weak and exposed, ready to be overthrown. That moment of reckoning has come for every bully, strongman, and dictator who has ever lived. See History.
Trump does not understand this lesson."

Day 3 of the Republican/Trump shutdown.
Interesting #TheBulwark article on Democrats negotiating power and winning the fight.
"Democrats ... should be negotiating about power.
The only compromises Democrats should accept in exchange for bailing out the Republican-controlled Congress are ones that would either (a) rebalance the structure of government, or (b) put limits on executive power.
If I were Chuck Schumer, my position would be:
- Statehood for the District of Columbia.
- A legislative end to “Kavanaugh stops.”
- Ending qualified immunity for federal law enforcement officers.
- Mandating that federal law enforcement officers cannot wear masks and must display identifying badges/markings at all times.
- Closing the “emergency” loopholes that the administration has claimed for everything from tariffs to acts of war.
- Removing the secretary of state’s discretionary power to revoke visas.
- Release all of the Epstein files."https://www.thebulwark.com/p/democrats-how-you-can-win-the-shutdown-fight-trump-newsom

Please contact your Senator to stand firm on the Republican/Trump shutdown.
I sent the following to Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla. Subject: "Stand Firm on the Trump Republican Government Shutdown”
Message: “The shutdown is all on Trump and the Republican’s. They own and want this shutdown. Do not cave in to their bullying tactics. It will only get worse if Democrats give up. Stand firm and fight. Make sure that Schumer stands firm as well.
Get to any news outlet and social media site and make it clear that this is the doing and the plan all along by the Republican’s. Mike Johnson said as much.”
