The Senate paved the way for a reopening of the federal government that’s been shut down by Democrats for over a month, and the Left is going bananas. It’s wild. Over at Bluesky, the knock-off version of Twitter dominated by America’s Trump-deranged lunatics, we have guillotine memes being posted about Chuck Schumer.
On MSNBC, they were freaking out that President Trump could ‘win’ the shutdown fight since what the Democrats are voting on is pretty much what Senate Republicans offered in return for their votes: a vote on the extension of the Obamacare subsidies. Republicans needed eight Democratic votes, and they got them. The final vote was 60-40 to advance this deal, which funds SNAP through September 2026, keeps the government open until January 30, and sets a vote in December for the Obamacare subsidies, the latter of which was offered by Sen. John Thune (R-SD) in October.

JUST IN: Democrat Rep. Brendan Boyle says he is completely “perplexed” after 8 Democrats voted to re-open the government.

MSNBC: Can you explain how you interpret why this deal came together now?
Boyle: I can't explain it because to be frank, to me, it makes absolutely no… pic.twitter.com/6tZMySq01q
🚨 BREAKING: The Senate has adjourned until 11 am on Monday, although multiple more votes are needed to reopen the government

Speaker Johnson is hoping to have the House vote by WEDNESDAY, per Fox
Until then, airport chaos continues and the government remains shut down. pic.twitter.com/fD0f9ggz6s

The political genius of Chuck Schumer.

If they just voted for the original CR and never shut the government down, he’d get a little pushback, but it would be short-lived.
Instead they cried wolf over healthcare, rallied the troops, woke everyone up.. just to disappoint them. https://t.co/4XEipsLZHf

If things go according to plan, the government could reopen this week. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), aka Temu Obama, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) were irate over this development last night—all the right people are mad. And, of course, CNN's Scott Jennings tore into the Democrats for subjecting millions of Americans to unnecessary economic pain for something that was already offered weeks ago by Republicans. What was this, guys?
Dems put SNAP beneficiaries through a bunch of pain & anxiety for literally nothing. NOTHING. All political nonsense. Just insanely irresponsible. https://t.co/tS5204NXjG

Amazing things happening on BlueSky tonight.

The libs are having a TOTAL meltdown.
Here’s a sample: pic.twitter.com/AJDT4mBvhj
The party who loves government is really upset that John Fetterman, a stroke survivor, just reopened the government with his vote. https://t.co/EVv8vKptkk pic.twitter.com/WhkP9Cvkkq

Yeah, there was a lot of drama last night, especially with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) being AWOL. He was reportedly stuck at DCA. The vote was 60-40.
🚨Senate Democrats have enough votes to move forward with the funding bill, as the chamber inches closer to passing something to send to the House. https://t.co/JczYTkd0E6

SHUTDOWN DEAL:
— Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) November 10, 2025
- Funding through Jan. 30
- Pass Senate appropriations bills for Ag, Veterans/Military Construction, Legislature.
- Senate vote on ACA by date in December. Bill to be determined by Democrats, per source involved
- SNAP funded thought Sept. 30, 2026.
THIS VOTE:
— Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) November 10, 2025
Is a BIGGIE.
Essentially is to open up, start work on the continuing resolution bill to fund government.
(Technically cloture on motion to proceed to the C.R.)
Requires 60 votes. This is the obstacle funding could not get past in last 40 days.
Unless all…
YES Senate Dem Caucus members now:

Fetterman likely will give it the 8 it needs.
Cornyn, yes.
