Bummer. They have threatening this for some many years,i wanted to find out.
Things can still change.
Because Shumer knows he cant be charged with anything while he is still in congress but if they shut down its game over.
its more likely that she can no longer complain about trump and doge shutting NGOs down during the shutdown lol
Nope
Members of Congress can be charged with treason and felonies while in session
Thats exactly why he decided they better not shut down. I think its funny they are running that scared.
They don't stop being Senators and Congressmen (or President), with whatever legal protection that holds, just because there's a government shutdown.
Or did you mean something else?
I was wondering when he'd figure out that a shut down would suit us just fine. Lol
Schumer got scared of shutdown appointments and DOGE going full blast! Kek
Also that would slow or stop the money laundering they need to keep fighting Trump.
They nee to control the Narrative, and if they shut down, it makes it so that they can't complain about Trump shutting down Empty Offices....
""Essential Personnel ONLY"", makes them expose themselves if they Complain about Govt Reduction....
Makes Elons Job much easier, just copy those Govt Jobs that Congress Deemed ""Non-Essential"", and fire all of them.....
Trump should have asked Mike Johnson for more if the democrats were going to fold so easily.
The dems were fucked either way, shut it down and get blamed, don't shut it down and now Trump can use the "Impoundment Act" to withold funds. https://www.gao.gov/blog/what-impoundment-control-act-and-what-gaos-role
I had never heard of ICA (Impoundment Control Act). Knowing what we collectively know now, that just sounds like a Deep State wet dream.
I would be all in favor of repeating that law if we only had enough votes to do it.
Trump is going to USE IT, not repeal it.
I get it, there is just a bunch of loopholes that need to be jumped through now.
Before the act, a president could simply refuse to spend the money for any reason.
Perfectly reasonable check & balance IMO. Congress sets the limit to spend, the president (executive) decides how mugh of that timit actually gets spent.
This idea that it MUST be spent is a mechanic that simply enables deep state operations to have much less push back.
Just for once, I'd love to see a politician keep their word.
If they did they wouldnt be a politician.
What would be funny is if the Republicans voted for a shut down so Trump could do his appointments without harassment and stop money flow at the same time. Kek

I have always been a fan of the idea of government shutdowns. I am not sure why they never go through with it as if it is something to be avoided.
They don't want you to see you can live your life just fine without them.
Those of us who are federal contractors would disagree 😊 But I will gladly give up my nice job to save the country.
[edit] I have not yet never been paid as a result of a shutdown. But we were threatened with loss of pay on a couple of longer ones had they continued on…
I kind of hope for shutdown... arrest can happen only when these idiots aren't in session. He is protecting his own a..
They can be arrested in session, only for treason or felonies

Yes. Now they are proudly claiming they kept the Republicans from shutting down the government and are laying claim to this "great victory".
Massie was right once again. What a clown show.
Why does any anon care about fake money?
Shutdown is pointless, the money is all fake
Well, that's disappointing.
He Was not going to let a shut down happen and let doge run all over them. This was the least of the two that old faggot could do. He loses either way.
Oy vey!
This is classic DEMONrat.
I heard Chuck Schumer say today this is Trump's government shutdown.
If the Republicans shut the government down it's our fault it's DEMONrats shut it down it's our fault.
