For weeks, Democrats have said this was a Republican-caused shutdown and demanded Republicans open the government. Now that the Schumer Shutdown is coming to an end, those same people are really mad. The biggest loser of last night's deal to end the Schumer Shutdown is the eponymous Democrat himself, Chuck Schumer. For over a month, Schumer kept the government closed and did untold harm to government employees and Americans who needed to travel for work or vacation, as well as Americans who rely on SNAP. And for what? Not much, really. The deal struck in the Senate last night doesn't give Democrats much in the way of their demands, save a promise to vote on Obamacare subsidies before the end of the year. The Democrats had no real leverage and were losing in the sphere of public opinion because their policies were harming real Americans Several Leftists on BlueSky were calling for his ouster or the guillotine. The Democratic Party has a very real problem with a violent voting base. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/amy-curtis/2025/11/10/the-knives-are-out-for-chuck-schumer-n2666206 Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Thursday after suffering injuries from a fall during a walk near his home. A spokesperson for Fetterman said in a statement: Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries. Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’ He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care. The Pennsylvania Democrat returned home after he voted with Senate Republicans to reopen the government and end the Democrats’ weekslong government shutdown. He said in a statement, “After 40 days as a consistent voice against shutting our government down, I voted YES for the 15th time to REOPEN. I’m sorry to our military, SNAP recipients, gov workers, and Capitol Police who haven’t been paid in weeks. It should’ve never come to this. This was a failure.” “Sen. Dave McCormick and I voted to REOPEN our government. Feed everyone. Pay our military, government workers, and Capitol Police. End the chaos in airports. Country over party.” The final penny was produced at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia on Wednesday. Officials say ceasing the production of the one-cent coin is a cost-effective move. Pennies have been around for over 230 years, and there are still billions of them in circulation, the Associated Press (AP) reported. Each penny made costs 4 cents; therefore, Treasurer Brandon Beach made it clear the halting of production will ultimately put money back into citizens’ pockets. A penny “can circulate for about 30 years before wearing out, meaning there will be no shortage of them anytime soon,” the outlet stated. After the final pennies were made, U.S. Mint employee Clayton Crotty said, “It’s an emotional day. But it’s not unexpected.” Trump, flanked by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), and cabinet officials, blasted Democrats for refusing to open government ahead of the signing. “For the past 43 days, Democrats in Congress shut down the government of the United States in an attempt to extort American taxpayers for hundreds of billions of dollars for illegal aliens and people that came into our country illegally,” Trump said. "Today, we’re sending a clear message that we will never give in to extortion, because that’s what it was. They tried to extort–the Democrats tried to extort our country,” he added. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said Thursday that the Democrat-forced government shutdown cost the country about $15 billion per week and is expected to knock 1-1.5 percent off gross domestic product growth in the fourth quarter. “Their current estimate is that 60,000 Americans, not government workers, have lost their jobs because of the reduced economic output,” he added. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt noted Wednesday that the shutdown caused a significant setback in the federal government’s ability to produce key economic reports, meaning the October jobs and consumer price index reports are unlikely to materialize. Hassett said...I think, we’ll be able to concoct the correct number after we look back, but we will never know what the unemployment rate was in October because there wasn’t a household survey.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/11/13/white-house-democrat-shutdown-cost-15-billion-a-week/
