US EditionGOP Senators Rip Chuck Schumer, Dems over Government Shutdown: ‘Destroyed the Institution of the Senate’
Congressman Byron Donalds and GOP senators criticize Schumer’s use of shutdown threats as harmful political tactics while crediting Trump’s administration with securing Middle East peace and hostage returns.
- On Friday, Congressman Byron Donalds criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's shutdown tactics on The David Webb Show on SiriusXM and Patriot Friday, while Senate Republicans led by John Thune urged Democrats to defy Schumer.

John Thune says he will only negotiate subsidies after the government reopens.
- The funding bill requires 60 votes, and Democrats have blocked sending the House-passed measure to the president 12 times, while Senate Republicans used the reconciliation process and a senate procedural 'nuclear' move last month.

- Against a backdrop of eroding Senate norms, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer unexpectedly seized the floor last month to force a vote on the Epstein files, which Senate Republicans called a hostile act.
