""President Trump opposes a government shutdown, and strongly supports the enactment of H.R. 5371, which is a clean Continuing Resolution to fund the government through November 21, and already passed the U.S. House of Representatives," the message says. "Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands. If Congressional Democrats maintain their current posture and refuse to pass a clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government funded before midnight on September 30, 2025, federal appropriated funding will lapse.""
"A bright red banner and pop-up message that appeared on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's website on Tuesday warns: "The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.""
Federal communications and at least one federal website attribute a likely government shutdown to Congressional Democrats and urge support for a clean Continuing Resolution. A red banner on the Department of Housing and Urban Development website accused "The Radical Left" of seeking a $1.5 trillion set of demands and warned of resulting pain to the American people. White House Office of Management and Budget messages told agency staff that President Trump supports H.R. 5371, that the House passed a clean CR through November 21, and that Senate Democrats are blocking it, warning funding will lapse and noting agency contingency shutdown plans. Experts say this messaging could violate federal ethics laws.
