Screwmer and his fellow corrupt DemocRATs screwing America - Despite Republican leaders signaling confidence that more Democrats would cross the aisle, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus blocked the GOP’s continuing resolution (CR) for the third time with a 53-45 vote. -- There were glimmers of hope on Tuesday that more Democrats would break ranks and vote for the bill when Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., and Angus King, I-Maine, joined Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., to vote for the bill. However, that trio remained the only members of the Democratic caucus that crossed the aisle on Wednesday. "We are just one Senate roll call vote away from ending the shutdown," Thune said. "We need a handful of Democrats to join Republicans to reopen the government. And once we do that, then we can talk about the issues that Democrats are raising. But we're not going to engage in bipartisan discussions while Democrats are holding the federal government hostage to their partisan demands. -- Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, panned Schumer and Democrats’ blockade as "grossly irresponsible." "It reminds me of my 4-year-old granddaughter when she gets mad, when she kicks the sand and leaves the sandbox, and they can't have their way," he said. "It's ridiculous." Their own counter-proposal was also blocked, again, on Wednesday, which included a permanent extension to the credits, a repeal of the healthcare title in President Donald Trump’s "big, beautiful bill," and a clawback of canceled funding for NPR and PBS. -- Meanwhile, Trump warned ahead of the vote that his administration and the Office of Management and Budget, led by Director Russ Vought, could do things "that are irreversible," like mass firings and cutting programs favored by Democrats. Vought and the OMB sent out a memo last week that directed agencies to implement mass firings beyond the typical furloughs that happen during a shutdown -- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/government-shutdown-continues-senate-dems-block-gop-funding-bill-3rd-time
