With just one day before a government shutdown, Senate Democrats are protesting a Republican funding bill that passed the House. The bill is not limiting President Trump's efforts to dismantle federal operations and purging thousands of workers. The Democrats proposed a short-term 30-day funding bill as a compromise, but their options are limited in a Republican-controlled Congress. They are cautious about risking a shutdown that could backfire politically, as the debate reflects the shifting power dynamics following the Republican consolidation of control.
Senate Democrats are mounting a last-ditch protest over a Republican-led government funding bill that fails to limit Executive efforts to gut federal operations.
Democrats are under intense pressure to stop the Trump administration's purges of federal workers, which they believe could lead to significant operational chaos.
