I heard a guy on TV saying these shutdowns occur under both Democrats and Republicans, but there hasn't been a shutdown when Dems were in control of all three branches since the 1970s under Carter.

The two parties are not the same.

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast β€œsocialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

Oh look the party that screams β€œfamily values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Republicans only lie and cannot be trusted! If you think they will keep their word by passing the CR and then giving us healthcare, you are delusional. #Resist #TrumpShutdown

If you ever wondered what Republican β€œgovernance” looks like, this is it.

A government shutdown.
Federal workers who don’t get paid.
A President who golfs during a shutdown.
National guards and ICE deployed to attack and arrest Americans.
Millions of Americans losing their healthcare.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families β€” and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

I am not afraid to speak against this regime, because the Constitution of the United States of America exists to guarantee me this right. If that changes, it means this regime has become a domestic enemy of the Constitution.
