But the democrats said government shut downs are galactically destructive. Everyone will die except billionaire white people.

grandstanding big mouth rand paul.....

voting no with the leftist democrats,

because that’s the only way he can get his way

he might as well change parties, with the number of times he votes to against Trump’s agenda

Well, yeah, with all the “essential services” exempted, very little actually gets shut down. But the Dems own this one. But it’ll be easier getting a ceasefire in Ukraine than getting the Democrats to agree to a budget.

Actually, those non-essential gubermint drones get the whole Thanksgiving week off - paid like they always do. Does Sen Paul understand the WASTE in that???

Overspending gives government the ability to overreach.

Schumer last time stated shutting it down gives President Trump full reign to axe all the useless money eating agencies and unleash DOGE….he didn’t shut it down then. I say shut them all down and selectively finance what is really needed to function.

It would result in only a few painful months, emerging lean and strong. Our government today is a disgusting obese monster….we need to give it the bread and water diet.

"Another solid vote by Rand Paul."

LOL!! Yeah another solid lock-step vote with the RATS.

"Democrats came together in near unison to defeat the measure on a 44-48 vote..."

With the help of the self-righteous, colluding Rand Paul.

Democrats shut it down but Republicans, specifically President Trump, will be blamed.

The Dims want another TRILLION to fund illegals and able-bodied adults. They say “but, the children!” However, the Trump administration wants the states to take over more funding instead of just letting Uncle Sugar make up the shortfall. If Kali wants to enroll more in Medicaid, they should pay for it.

Sheesh. She was bought off to vote for the Big Beautiful Bill. The least she can do is stay bought

isn’t it all of 11% of the government that shuts down when this happens?
So much hyperbole
So much drama
So much nothing

“ Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), a centrist ”

Yeah by the shills standards. She actually is a worthless leftist rat who would hand the Senate to the dems if she coild.

Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), an outspoken fiscal hawk
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), a centrist

Descriptions need revision.

Paul is a middle of the road Pub, modest MAGA.
Ms Lisa is a Nepo Pig and a Crony Cap deep stater.
