On the 22nd day of the Trump Shutdown, Senate Republicans are holding show votes, House Republicans won’t show up for work and Trump wants to see shows in his new ballroom.
In 10 days, more than 24 million working Americans will see their health care costs double and GOP leadership is living in la la land. Democrats and reasonable Republicans know we must address the healthcare crisis and this bill failed — for the 12th time — to do that. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2025/10/22/government-shutdown-funding-bill-fails-12th-vote/
@indivisibleteam No, Senate Republicans are not holding show votes. That is factually inaccurate.
Senate Republicans are holding votes trying to move funding legislation forward. If Democrats didn't block the progress then the legislation would move forward to passage and government would be reopened.
That's not a show vote. That is a functional vote, and Democrats are blocking the function.
