""Over the last few days, President Trump's behavior has become more erratic and unhinged," they wrote. "Instead of negotiating a bipartisan agreement in good faith, he is obsessively posting crazed videos." ( On Monday night, the president of the United States of America shared a n AI video depicting Jeffries in a sombrero and fake mustache standing next to Schumer, saying undocumented immigrants should get free healthcare. And before that, he shared and deleted an AI-generated video promoting "medbeds," a far-right conspiracy created by QAnon.)"
"This will be the 22nd federal shutdown since 1976-when the current budget process was first established. The last shutdown, which also happened to be the country's longest shutdown, took place during Trump's first term, from December 22, 2018, to January 19, 2019. That shutdown was due to Trump refusing to sign a budget deal that didn't include funds for his U.S.-Mexico border wall."
House Democrats attended in full to stop a government shutdown as many House Republicans were absent. Both parties' stop-gap measures failed to reach the 60 votes required. Democrats declined to back a proposal to fund the government through the end of October and extend expiring tax credits; Republicans proposed funding through November without subsidies. Sen. Schumer and Rep. Jeffries blamed President Trump, calling his behavior "more erratic and unhinged" and accusing him of "obsessively posting crazed videos." The White House said construction of Trump's $200 million golden ballroom will continue during the shutdown while some soldiers go unpaid. This is the 22nd federal shutdown since 1976.
