Schumer Rejects Shutdown Solution for 14th Time as Dems Block Bill Yet Again
5th November 2025
During a speech on the Senate floor, Schumer blamed Republicans for refusing to maintain pandemic-era Obamacare enhancements that were always meant to be temporary. Remember this next time a Democrat says something is temporary…
“The only plan Republicans have for healthcare seems to be to eliminate it, and then to tell working people to go figure it out on their own,” said Schumer. “That’s not a healthcare plan. That’s cruel.”
That said, some Senate Democrats – 6 or so according to Fox News, are meeting behind closed doors to find a way out, with Sen. Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) optimistic that they can get something done by the end of the week.
