The last federal government shutdown, like the current one, was caused by Democrats’ support of illegal immigrants. That time, they won – until President Trump took an extraordinary measure to thwart their agenda.

“The gold standard for ending a shutdown has been a clean continuing resolution,” Brit Hume told “Special Report” Monday - but, it’s actually been the only standard for ending shutdowns over the last 35 years.

On Monday's The 11th Hour, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle and never Trump Republican Mark McKinnon seemed to cheer for Democrats to aggressively gerrymander states like California against Republicans as both used the provocative expression "bring a gun to a knife fight" to describe the strategy.

The virulently anti-Trump American Federal of Government Employees (AFGE) is now calling on Senate Democrats to end the government shutdown by voting to pass a continuing resolution that would temporarily extend funding at previously-approved levels.

In a viral video, Democrat Whip Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) says that, while Democrats’ government shutdown will cause American families to suffer, it’s worth it because it gives her party leverage to pass its political agenda.

Democrats are demanding $1.5 trillion in new partisan spending – including $5 billion for wasteful international projects – before they’ll vote to reopen the government, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday.

After a Friday World News Tonight report on the possibility of a government shutdown, ABC might need to rename its network DNC because throughout the segment, host David Muir and White House correspondent Rachel Scott combined to utter the phrase “Democrats say” three times while never once using the equivalent “Republicans say.”

In the first episode after CBS announced it would be canceling The Late Show, Stephen Colbert welcomed Sen.

Additionally, both men would have positive things to say…

As Senate Republicans hold its fate in their hands, PBS’s Amanpour and Company thought it was a good idea to welcome former Clinton Treasury Secretary and Obama economic advisor Lawrence Summers to double and triple down on his previous claim that Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill will kill over 100,000 people.

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart was confused on Monday’s The Daily Show why the GOP’s spending reforms in the Big Beautiful Bill would target the areas of the budget where the most money is spent. Together with economic commentator and author Kyla Scanlon, the duo would conclude that it is easier to cut from people than lobbyists.

Today’s installment of legacy media types suggesting that PEOPLLLLE WILL DIEEEEEE as a result of Congress rescinding funding for leftwing propaganda outlets PBS and NPR features CBS’s Margaret Brennan, who in a grotesque twist finds a way to tie imagined rescission-induced deaths to the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump at Butler, PA.
