The loss isn't sitting well with the Dems' extreme-left wing, which did its level best to blame others in the party for what conservatives quickly dubbed "Schumer's shutdown." "Pathetic. This isn't a deal. It's a surrender. Don't bend the knee!" whined California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a press release. "Tonight, eight Democrats voted with the Republicans to allow them to go forward on this continuing resolution. And to my mind, this was a very, very bad vote," added "independent" Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Dozens of other progressive Dems added their vitriol, throwing a collective fit on BlueSky. The rage was palpable. Why? One big reason was that President Donald Trump promised to do what the Democrats had threatened to do in years past to end a shutdown: Kill the filibuster. (Not all Republicans agree with Trump, by the way.)
