GAME OVER: BREAKING HOUSE PASSES BILL TO END SHUTDOWN

 

It’s over. The Democrats’ ploy to shake down the government for $1.5 trillion for NPR funding and illegal alien health care. It was 40-plus days of abject stupidity by liberal Democrats. The GOP wasn’t going to budge on these policy issues. They did move slightly on no further layoffs for federal workers. Not too upset about that since we held firm on what was at the core of this shutdown. No way were we going to compromise on these two fronts.
The Obamacare subsidies were on Congress’s radar. It needed to be resolved, but the shutdown derailed things, along with numerous appropriations bills. The initial continuing resolution was a clean one, lasting 7 weeks, with no poison pills, and set at Biden-era funding levels. Democrats supported everything in the CR in March. We played these games, and now it’s over—the House voted 222-209 to reopen the government and end this madness. Six House Democrats joined the Republicans. It now goes to Trump's desk for signature.
