We\u2019ll see how this plays out, but let\u2019s be clear \u2014 there\u2019s no grand master plan here, just political obstruction. It takes 60 votes in the Senate to break the deadlock that\u2019s kept the government shut down, and there have already been 14 attempts to reopen it. Every single one has been blocked by Democrats.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re still digging in, convinced it\u2019s somehow popular to paralyze Washington over $1.5 trillion in health care for illegal immigrants and continued funding for NPR. It\u2019s not governance \u2014 it\u2019s a tantrum disguised as principle, and the American people are the ones paying the price.<\/p>\n

With Chuck Schumer apparently willing to politically self-immolate over this shutdown, Speaker Mike Johnson has had enough. Johnson says the New York Democrat can no longer be trusted as an honest broker in these negotiations and plans to bypass him entirely \u2014 reaching out directly to individual Senate Democrats to break the stalemate:<\/p>\n
