We’ll see what happens here, but it’s not some grand scheme. We need 60 votes in the Senate to break the deadlock that’s kept the government closed. There have been 14 votes to reopen the government, and Democrats have all shot them down. They still are dying on the hill that it’s popular to gum up the whole Washington works for $1.5 trillion for illegal alien health care and NPR funding.

With Chuck Schumer willing to self-immolate on this fight, Speaker Johnson says the New York Democrat is no longer a trusted actor in these talks and that he will contact certain Senate Democrats individually to end the logjam.

Again, we’ll see. For now, Schumer has a stranglehold on the caucus. We’re in for another week of this at least. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that some airspace might need to be closed due to staffing shortages. 

Editor’s Note: Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
