Mike Johnson Reveals GOP’s Next Move In Shutdown Battle

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday said Republicans are mapping their next move as the Nov. 21 deadline approaches for the stopgap bill that passed the House last month and is stalled in the Senate.

“We’re very mindful of the calendar. We’re very frustrated by that,” Johnson told reporters, adding GOP leaders will meet soon to weigh options.

Republican leaders are privately considering another short-term patch into early 2026 — as POLITICO reported — as part of any deal to reopen the government.

Talks have intensified across both chambers, with GOP leaders now eyeing an expiration window between Jan. 21 and March for any new agreement.

In the Senate, negotiators are discussing a package that could pair funding bills with a new stopgap to reopen the government, along with a vote for Democrats on extending expiring health insurance subsidies. Even as those talks continue, Republican leaders say they won’t allow full-year spending bills to advance before there’s a reopening deal.

Asked to weigh in on the president’s recent calls to end the filibuster, Johnson said he spoke with the president multiple times over the weekend. He said Trump is “very passionate about this,” while attributing the energy around the issue within the GOP to “the real desperation that we feel because we want the government to be open.”

“I understand desperate times call for desperate measures,” Johnson said. “I also understand that traditionally we’ve seen that as an important safeguard, I mean, I obviously shared my thoughts with the president on that.”

No.

What are the Dems fighting for that is so important that it justifies Americans going hungry?  Benefits for illegal aliens and not letting Obamacare subsidies sunset as the Dems' own previous legislation called for.

Keep making Dems vote "No" on the clean continuing resolution.

It is on the Dems to explain why letting Americans starve is preferable to re-opening the Government.

Everyday, dominate the news cycle with new revalations about waste, fraud, and abuse of Federal welfare programs by the Dems' illegal alien criminal 2030 Census apportionment placeholders and by Dem state and local Governments.

The GOP has the high ground.  The GOP needs to stay on offense and press the Dems on defense.

Congressional GOP needs to grow a pair.

Tora! Tora! Tora!

Run PAC/SuperPAC ads in the media markets of Dem Senators informing the American people of the Dems' disdain for them.

When someone takes hostages, shoot the hostages first to deprive the hostage takers of their leverage.

Mike, there's a secret ingredient to success that you're missing - cock and balls.

You got the leverage - use it. All you have to do is do.

Johnson is doing the exact right thing. He needs to get on camera EVERY SINGLE day saying; "The Republicans want to feed starving Children, but Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats want to see them die in the street and freeze in the winter. We really want to help outt he American public, but the Democrats have literally tied our hands." Then wipe a tear from his eye. Then get Trump and Vance on camera saying the exact same thing.
