Some Democrats have spoken out against their colleagues after they advanced a deal to end the record-breaking 40-day government shutdown.
Seven Democrats and one independent voted with Republicans in the Senate late Sunday to end the shutdown, which has left federal workers without pay for more than a month.
Those who support the deal include John Fetterman, a Democratic senator from Pennsylvania, who apologized to those government workers who have gone weeks without being paid, calling the shutdown a “failure.”
But several big names in the party, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent, have criticized the deal and those that voted for it, with Newsom calling it “pathetic.”
Why It Matters
The longest government shutdown in U.S. history has caused cascading disruptions for millions of Americans, from delayed SNAP benefits to thousands of flight cancellations and weeks without pay for hundreds of thousands of federal workers. The shutdown, which began on October 1, persisted for over 40 days as negotiations between Republicans and Democrats repeatedly stalled, largely over enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits and Medicaid funding.

Pure comedy. And complete buzz kill from their wins last week
The Dems had momentum after their election sweep. Now they shoot themselves in the foot again by screaming that Trump won again. They can’t help themselves.
They finally realized that winning elections in Blue States isn’t a mandate.................
The Democrat party is going through a transformation. Their treason coming to light, the old guard being forced out, the communist-indoctrinated young turks coming in. It’s going to be painful for them.
The old saying don’t believe your press clippings applies here.
They finally realized that winning elections in Blue States isn’t a mandate.................

Exactly…..
I’ll admit that it wasn’t good for our side but it certainly wasn’t the doom and gloom I was hearing from so many people.
There is a generational change happening in both parties.
Time to fasten the seat belts—gonna be a wild ride.
So, lock them all into chambers and leave pallets of half bricks — winners (survivors) run the party.
The Democrat leadership isn’t hateful enough to suit their base.
It’s amusing finally seeing the dems snatching defeat from the jaws of victory after watching the GOP do the infighting and constantly losing for so long.
“ it certainly wasn’t the doom and gloom I was hearing from so many people.”
…unless you live in VA
That’s true.
Mere days ago they were jumping up and down, and having their media flacks pushing stories about how the Trump era was gone and the landslide elections (in hard blue areas) showed that MAGA was toast.
How these poor people can exist with this level of goldfish-brain is amazing.
Is it wrong to point and laugh at the mentally handicapped, in this situation?
Shooting themselves in the foot is a good thing.
I wouldn't exactly call those wins. They just replaced them with someone as equally or more retarded.
It was a complete and utter failure for the DEMONcrats. Good.
Except VA
The GOP did screw up but nothing as bad as the Democrats have... Back to the Wilderness with them...
Now that’s a civil war I can get behind!
