I'm so glad the Trump team has kept the receipts.
It's budget time again, and that means that the two sides are once again facing irreconcilable differences that may lead to the "end of the world" government shutdown.
Here's Politico on the face down:
It's Republicans who are pushing a 'clean' seven-week continuing resolution, which they say will buy time for more negotiations on full-year spending bills and possibly an extension of expiring health insurance subsidies. Democrats, meanwhile, wrote an alternative four-week punt that tacks on a laundry list of other demands, including a permanent extension of the insurance subsidies.
Yes, the shoe is on the other foot, so guess who isn't out there this year crying about all the families and lives that will be devastated by the government shutdown?
The Democrats.
But don't worry, here are the receipts I mentioned.
Here's Mark Warner a year ago:
And Chuck Schumer:
And Pocahontas:

Weird that they were all such bleeding hearts for government employees and SNAP recipients in 2024, but in 2025 ...
Last week, Democrats were mainly fuming about Trump's comments that GOP leaders shouldn't "even bother dealing with" them. On Friday, he predicted "it could very well end up with a closed country for a period of time." A day later, after top Democratic leaders demanded a meeting, he said he would 'love to meet with them, but I don't think it's going to have any impact.'
'Donald Trump told them, ‘Don't talk to the Democrats,' and so they didn't,' Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said. 'He wanted a clean CR, and he got it on the House side. I'm not sure what he'll get in the Senate.'
Will the Democrats see the light and wake up from their hypocrisy?
