Chuck Schumer Just Pulled Off an Unprecedented Feat
Jeff Charles
At this time, I would like to congratulate Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for pulling off a feat that no other has in the history of our nation. He has officially brought about the longest government shutdown ever, and it doesn’t appear that things will get back to normal anytime soon.
The Schumer Shutdown™ entered its 36th day on Wednesday, surpassing all previous shutdowns. One could say it was the shutdown of shutdowns.
The standoff began on October 1 when Congress failed to pass appropriations legislation for the 2026 fiscal year. The center of the dispute is healthcare. Subsidies for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are set to expire at the end of the year.
Democrats are demanding that Republicans maintain the subsidies, arguing that allowing them to lapse would result in drastically increased insurance premiums for millions of Americans. They also want to reinstate Medicaid and Medicare funding that was slashed with the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
