It's Done: Senate Finally Moves to End the Schumer Shutdown, Bill Now Goes to the House

It's Done: Senate Finally Moves to End the Schumer Shutdown, Bill Now Goes to the House

The Senate doesn’t care about the House Democrats screaming. The votes are set, and they’re not moving. After the longest shutdown in American history, we have light at the end of the tunnel. Eight Democratic senators signed off on a deal to end the impasse. What’s maddening is that it’s the same deal Republicans have offered from the start: the legislation keeps government funded through January 30, keeps SNAP financed by the end of September 2026, and guarantees a vote on Obamacare subsidies.

If this seems like déjà vu, you’re not alone. It’s what’s been on the table since mid-October. It’s why House Democrats, lusting to keep American families in pain, are angry. Because they know if this clears the Senate, it’s over. Speaker Mike Johnson has kept the House GOP in line, and even the most annoying voices usually come to heel, especially when President Trump asks to speak with them. But it's over. With cloture invoked, the Democrats have no leverage. Sen. John Thune (R-SD) could've passed a clean CR with no guarantees on anything if the Democrats tried to pull something.

On Sunday night, the 60-vote threshold was clear. Now, it has been cleared again, along with several other appropriations bills. There were a slew of votes on amendments before the crucial votes to advance this bill to reopen the government. It only needed a simple majority. It passed 60-40. The legislation now heads to the House.

Democrats started this fight, and now they’re folding. All of this for nothing.

Editor’s Note: After more than 40 days of screwing Americans, a few Dems have finally caved. The Schumer Shutdown was never about principle—just inflicting pain for political points.
