Trump is rooting for a shutdown. He knows he has created a huge problem because now any budget deal with Republicans isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. He’s not even pretending to follow the law.

Republican's brought us to this shutdown, let them figure out how to stop it. Let them own it.

I will call Sens. Cornyn and Cruz to express my opposition to DJT’s “pocket rescission” idea. No to cutting nearly $5b more from already appropriated foreign aid! Stand your ground, Democrats! Do not capitulate to the mad king!

If the gov shuts down, do you think that'll start the revolution? I'm fearing it's just a matter of time since trump doesn't give a shit about law!

Senator, with all due respect. How does keeping the government open, without getting any concessions, change the reality in front of us? He’s already doing authoritarian crap. Shutting the govt down doesn’t enable him anymore than he already is. And constituents are begging for a fight.

Given the behavior of this government, the only ethical choice is to close it.

Put a clause in the next budget deal that states if any money is rescinded, the President gets impeached & removed from office immediately. :)

Give him a shutdown, & make it his. Negotiating with Rs gains nothing for the public—if he doesn’t want to spend $ on what we negotiate, he won’t. This shutdown cannot look like a fight over foreign aid either—that will serve T’s narrative. Fight for: #GunSafety #CDC #MilitaryOffStreets #Right2vote

Trump will blame the incoming economic downturn on the shutdown. It’s going to be a difficult decision for dems and I wonder if there is any other mechanism to fight his pocket rescission.

The GOP has proved over and over they will let him do anything he wants already. There are no good faith negotiations. When you have the chance, shut it down.

Don't agree to any budget that doesn't "claw back" the $170B in the big bad bill for ICE...

Just stop funding Israel. That will help. And they don’t need the money. They live very well and our support only allows them to subsidize EVERYTHING. Including building illegal settlements.

I hope you give him the shutdown he's rooting for, and that the Dems don't budge unless there are guarantees to give Congress back the powers you're supposed to have.

If this Administration isn’t going to not spend the funds allocated as Congress designated, what is the choice other than a shutdown? And where is the money going that’s being taken away? Crypto ventures? The WH ballroom? More vacations for JD?

He stripped Congress of their power. The balance of power is gone. Congress is out, the only thing holding the line are courts below SCOTUS. This is not how it was designed to work and if there weren’t so much $$ pumped in by corporations and wealthy donors, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Oh look, once again he’s using another tactic that could have been used in the past, by the other side. At this point, the pants are pulled so far down. The dude’s entire purpose evolves around bending rules and finding loopholes. So, do I still need to call my representative and wag my finger?! 😬

You guys cannot rubber stamp another budget from this regime. I know the old heads feel that keeping the government open is their overriding job but that train left the station months ago. Resist, throw monkey wrenches whenever possible. You need to help the average person see the chaos of the king.

A national strike and a shutdown will put Trump in a bind. No production, no tax revenue, no federal workers, no aviation. No trucking. Nothing. Lock it all up. Can’t bring words alone to a coup. Action at a national level before the regime gains more traction.

So we should impeach and remove him from office right? And make it clear that any Republicans who are against it are pro crime and fascism. Right?

schumer should have shut it down in the beginning before his failed book tour. Then ICE would have never been funded. And all Dems voted for rubio's confirmation. He accelerated global starvation. booker votes kushner for ambassador of France. Dems stop supporting trump's picks. Slow it down.
