“Both political parties have made their point, and still there is no clear end in sight,” American Federation of Government Employees President Everett Kelley wrote in a statement first shared with NBC News. “It’s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today. No half measures, and no gamesmanship.”The statement could increase pressure on Democrats to budge from their current stance. Senate Democrats have insisted that they won’t vote to reopen the government without a commitment from Republicans and President Donald Trump on extending health care subsidies through the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at the end of the year. Without them, health insurance premiums on Obamacare markets will skyrocket for many individuals and families.
“It’s time for our leaders to start focusing on how to solve problems for the American people, rather than on who is going to get the blame for a shutdown that Americans dislike,” Kelley said, stressing there should be a “resolution that allows continued debate on larger issues” like growing costs and a dysfunctional federal funding process in Congress.

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is calling on Democrats to pass a clean Continuing Resolution (CR) and reopen the government. Will Democrats listen?

Here's more from NBC News:
I agree, despite the fact that in this case, it may help break the logjam and cost Democrats some considerable amount of support in next year's election if the Schumer shutdown continues much longer.

After WEEKS of the Government shut down... the American people KNOW who is REALLY RESPONSIBLE... Democrats tried FEVERISHLY to BLAME Donald Trump... BUT, recent polls show that Trump has GAINED in Popularity in recent weeks... while the Democrats are down in the 20% range !!
The PATHETIC IDIOT Democrats are NOT FOOLING ANYONE !!
BUT, it's getting FUNNY just how STUPID they really are... as they CONTINUE the FARSE !!
There's no doubt that Democrats would be scared to death to go into election day next week while still keeping the government closed and have to face the ire of their voters who don't receive their EBT or other welfare payments on time.*Beekeeper » 27 Oct 2025, 4:45 pm » wrote: ↑ The Schumer Shutdown is likely to continue until around the 5-6th of November.

My guess it that they'll give it up by Halloween later this week.
Of course, Schumer will try to save face when he calls off the shutdown by claiming how he couldn't stand to see the poor not getting their welfare and EBT cards on schedule.*Beekeeper » 28 Oct 2025, 10:02 am » wrote: ↑ I'm basing it on the fact that Schumer and the Dhims WANT the outrage so they can say "See, we made SURE you were taken care of as the Republicans did all they could to make you suffer". That's how they ALWAYS operate in trying to turn things as "their fault" when the reality is just the opposite.
It will be AFTER the EBT cards aren't loaded and the looters get going.
