22nd daily thread covering The 2025 Republican Shutdown/ Hostage Taking of the United States Government
Day 22 Updates:
- (CNBC) Government shutdown becomes 2nd longest in U.S. history, only surpassed by Trump's previous shutdown record: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/22/government-shutdown-trump-democrats.html
-Former Defense Secretary Panetta- Trump's inability to govern signals weakness to foes: https://www.axios.com/2025/10/22/government-shutdown-democracy-failure-defense-leon-panetta
- (CBS) Senate Republicans continue wasting time pushing same bill for 12th time expecting different outcome: https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/government-shutdown-latest-day-22-second-longest-shutdown-in-history/
Reminders:
-The Republicans created this situation when they used the nuclear option to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, which created the CR at the center of the current shutdown, with a simple majority of 51, meaning not even all Republican Senators voted in favor of it. They did this knowing it would lead to an eventual deadline where they would either need Democrat votes or to use the nuclear option to avoid a shutdown.
-Republicans are refusing to use the nuclear option which would allow them to end the shutdown right now.
-Republicans are refusing to make any concessions at all to Democrats to entice them to vote for the CR the Republicans are forcing through.
-The Republican Speaker of the House is refusing to call the House into session until the shutdown ends, meaning even if Senate Republicans wanted to make concessions, they can't because they would need to be sent to the House for approval before they could be ratified.
