A Democrat representative appears to have revealed the party’s next plot to sow chaos in DC and stall President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), who represents South Boston in Congress, told CNN’s Omar Jimenez on Friday that the party could be eyeing a second attempt at shutting down the government when the short-term continuing resolution expires in January.
“Democrat Rep. Stephen Lynch says he is “furious” that the government reopened and suggests the Democrats will shut down the government again in January,” RNC Research wrote on X in a post accompanying the CNN clip.
“I’m, I’m, I’m furious with the senators who decided to bail on us,” Lynch said as Jimenez listened.
“There may be another opportunity in January, when this CR expires, but I’m not sure this experience has stiffened their spine. They should worry more about the people they represent, than, than, you know, the Republican speaker or, or the White House.”
The 43-day shutdown spanning late September to mid-November was a record, beating the 2018-2019 shutdown by a whopping 8 days.
Trump signed legislation late Wednesday evening to reopen the federal government after the historic lapse.
The bill, approved by the House of Representatives in a 222-209 vote after the Senate’s earlier passage, provides funding for most federal agencies through Jan. 30, 2026, and extends full-year appropriations for the Departments of Agriculture and Veterans Affairs, and the legislative branch.
It also restores pay and back pay to more than one million federal employees who were either furloughed or forced to work without pay during the shutdown. Some 650,000 of those workers are expected to return to work as early as Thursday.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a key architect of the funding package, called the measure “a clean resolution that reopens government and restores services,” while Senate Democrats criticized the bill for failing to extend key health-insurance subsidies tied to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Represent your constituents? Like shutting over your little hissy fits where no one gets paid but you and your lazy ass staffers. Democrats have nothing positive to contribute to society. They suck.
An orchestrated shutdown should be treated as attack on our country.
His finances should be checked , maybe another Mortgage person ,LOL
Well duh...
of course. The Covid shutdown during Trump’s first presidency was just the wind-up. They want his name to be tied to shutdowns and failure
Huzzah!
You know someone is serious when they use "I'm" three times in a row.
Stop it.
The first one was the Schumer shutdown.
The second one will be the Lynch shutdown.
Why is this not considered an act of war?
When I heard the CR expires in January I assumed the Demcommies would pull another stunt
Why not quickly pass a bill that cuts of pay for politicians if the govt shuts down? Seems bipartisan.
The more appropriation bills that the house passes the less a shutdown will effect. Three done, the next are being positioned. All are out of committee.
they probably get more from kickbacks and bribes than they do from congressional pay
Sharing the page with the 2000 pic of Trump and Epstein.
Looks like a conspiracy to commit treason to me.
I’m sure glad they included their own pay in the full-year appropriations.
The Democrats ONLY care about the ILLEGALS GETTING FREE HEALTHCARE!!
