The Democrats have got to come to their senses. You can endorse communists all you want, but at least keep the government operating for us.""
"This from a man who is allowing Donald Trump to do everything he wants to destroy our democracy, and he's succeeding, thanks to Johnson's spineless, pious stupidity. Because Mike Johnson, with some help from Trump, is 100 percent responsible for the government shutdown. He presides over a House that he's refusing to bring back into session, even as federal workers go unpaid, as the shutdown he precipitated drags on, as every day of delay erodes public trust and harms ordinary people."
Zohran Mamdani is presented as a hopeful, inclusive, energetic progressive who represents the many rather than the few. Mike Johnson publicly criticized Mamdani and complained about Democratic endorsements, accusing the party's left wing of threatening government operations. Johnson explicitly blamed the rise of Marxist and far-left activists for the federal government shutdown. Critics counter that Johnson and Donald Trump bear responsibility for the shutdown by keeping the House out of session and allowing democratic norms to erode. A pending discharge petition to release Epstein files awaited a new member whose oath could trigger a vote, heightening the political standoff.
