US EditionOutraged liberals warn Democratic leaders not to cave on shutdown
Democratic leaders face pressure from unions and officials as the government shutdown hits Day 36, impacting unpaid military and air traffic personnel, with funding deadline looming.
- Today, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said another vote kept the government shutdown, which Senate officials said will reach a new world record.
- As negotiations stalled, Democrats noted the House CR served as the Democratic baseline, and Senate minority leader John Thune said `we've lost five weeks`.
- Critical workers, including air traffic controllers and military personnel, are working without pay while food stamp programs lack funds, and traditionally Democratic unions blame leadership.
- Public pressure is mounting as blame grows and predictions of Democratic defections rise, with three defections led by Senator John Fetterman challenging Democratic leaders.
- With funding limited to November 21, lawmakers must vote in both chambers to change the deadline and could extend funding to year's end or January.

Will The GOP Cave To The Dems' Losing Govt Shutdown Position?
Not that anyone should count on congressional Republicans to take a win when it’s presented on a gold-plated platter, but with each passing second, their position on this stupid, Democrat-driven government “shut down” only grows stronger. Food stamp recipients aren’t getting their supplements, and air traffic controllers aren’t getting paid. Neither are thousands of other […]
