In a shocking admission, Democrats are now saying they won’t end the Schumer Shutdown until planes are falling out of the sky.
On October 1 at 12:01 am, the government partially shut down because two measures failed in the Senate.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer rejected the House-passed, clean, short-term stopgap funding bill to keep the government open.
Instead of working with Republicans to responsibly extend funding until November, Schumer chose a shutdown.
Airports across the nation went dark because Schumer’s priority is to give illegal aliens taxpayer-funded healthcare.

Dueling proposal to fund the government have failed seven times in the Senate.
According to CNN, Democrats are willing to keep the government shut down for several more weeks if Republicans do not give in and give illegal aliens healthcare.
“Congressional Democrats are privately preparing to hold their position in the shutdown standoff for several more weeks if Republicans do not agree to their health care demands – and not even a missed paycheck for US troops will force them to yield,” CNN reported.
“Another senior Democratic aide said as long as public perception is in their favor, the party will not concede short of “planes falling out of the sky.”” – CNN reported.

Meanwhile Schumer is blaming Speaker Johnson for the shutdown.
“Hear that, Mr. Speaker? Good Americans in your own state will die. All because the Speaker chose to keep the House on vacation, rather than negotiate with Democrats, and end their Trump shutdown. Shameful!” Schumer said this week.
