Senate Democrats are refusing again to end the Schumer Shutdown, voting down the clean GOP funding bill to reopen the government.
Here’s the news:
By a vote of 52-42, the #Senate did not invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R.5371, Continuing Appropriations. (House)
Dem/Independent senators voting in favor: Cortez Masto, Fetterman, and King. GOP Senator Paul voted against .

Karoline Leavitt said earlier today “The special nutrition program for women and infants will run out of money, and service members will miss their next paycheck.”
Looks like the Schumer Shutdown will be responsible for this, and I hope they are held to account for it.
UPDATE: Right after I got this posted, I see that President Trump has responded to the latest vote:
Democrats have SHUT DOWN the United States Government right in the midst of one of the most successful Economies, including a Record Stock Market, that our Country has ever had. This has sadly affected so many programs, services, and other elements of Society that Americans rely on — And it should not have happened. I am happy to work with the Democrats on their Failed Healthcare Policies, or anything else, but first they must allow our Government to re-open. In fact, they should open our Government tonight!
