I'm sorry, but Senate Dems are in a horrible spot.

The Republicans seem very willing to let a shutdown drag out, and if it goes past 30 days, the military stops getting paid.

Enough people have already lost their jobs, seen their subsidies disappear or have seen their 401Ks tank in the last month where it will be tough to spin this on Democrats. No one trusts the Republican Party, especially with Musk still on the loose. They’ll try and hide him more now, but the damage is done.

Hell, the DOE shutting down has raised the antennas of even some of the dumbest Trump supporters.

It’s time to dig in and have Democrats blast from the high hills how dangerous the bill is for all Americans. This is an opportunity to control messaging for once.

No one will care by November 2026 , back pay them like they usually do. They can do a short 30 day cr and work out a bipartisanship bill

Yeah I’m not sure you can count on full backpay or any the way Trump-Musk have their way.

They’ll get a 10 point questionnaire explaining they need to say what they would have been doing during the shutdown or not get paid
