Only one on this graph managed to not only have shutdowns with full control of the government, but the 2 longest in U.S. history.

How does a one day shutdown result in furloughed workers?

It’s worth repeating that in other developed countries when a government can’t pass a budget (or perform its duties) it is disbanded and a new elections are called.

This missing critical data points: where did the appropriations bill fail (house? senate? both? presidential veto?), and what was the contention point?

Do Republicans even want to govern, or are they more committed to sabotage?

We need to get rid of the filibuster on both sides. This shit is ridiculous.

What’s infuriating aside from the fact things are shut down is the fact Congress could be working on an actual budget while this mess is continuing. This shutdown is over a CR (continuing resolution) not the actual budget. So, if and when agreement is reached on the CR, the actual budget will still not be finished…makes zero sense of course, but then paying the salaries of Mike Johnson and his gang of performative nuts continues.

wait the government has been shutdown for over a month? I feel like we should be close to “fire them all and elect new people”

I have never seen someone speed run the downfall of a government this fast without it being a full military coup…**IF** we make it out of this the history books on this are gonna be insane.

Of note: he is the only person to have a shutdown when co trolling all three branches, and that’s happened three times now under that situation.

It’s worth noting that the senate does not have to take 60 votes.
They can and have eliminated the 60 vote requirement with a majority vote.
Not doing so today is a choice among the Republican senate. If all the republican senators choose to do so they could open the government today with a couple votes and the presidents signature – no democrats required.

Wild that Carter had a sixteen seat majority in the senate and a 119-seat majority in the house in 1980.
