Dems ready to shut it down to stick it to Trump, with Americans as collateral damage
September 18, 2025 | Chris Donaldson
Democrats are poised to force a shutdown of the federal government to stick it to President Donald J. Trump and seem to have few qualms about the tens of millions of Americans who will be left as collateral damage of their scorched-earth method of governing.
As they continue to plummet in polls while quadrupling down on the wrong side of every 80-20 issue, Senate Democrats are behaving more like suicide bombers than responsible legislators by letting their hatred of the duly elected president trump their obligation to serve the American people.
A shutdown could be less than two weeks away, with Dems looking to solidify support from their maniacal base by rejecting Republican efforts to keep the government running with a “clean” continuing resolution as a stopgap option, signaling that they will refuse to go along in order to send a “message” to Trump.
Several Democratic senators anonymously told The Hill that the shutdown has been a “chief topic of discussion in recent caucus meetings” as the party grapples with Trump’s successes and their inability to defeat his reform agenda other than to use every dirty trick in the bag to obstruct and delay in the hope that they can retake the House in next year’s midterm elections.
According to the outlet, the unnamed lawmakers said that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), “who took enormous heat from his left flank after voting for a GOP funding bill earlier this year, has not laid out any plan B to avert a shutdown before the Sept. 30 deadline.”
