America watched in disgust on Oct. 14, 2025, when Rep. Mike Lawler told Newsmax’s Wake Up America that Democrats are deliberately sowing dysfunction and holding the country hostage with an ongoing government shutdown we never needed. This isn’t accidental governance — it’s calculated political theater that punishes everyday Americans while Washington’s left cheers from the cheap seats.
Lawler didn’t mince words, naming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as willing participants in a stunt driven by the far-left wing of their party, including figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York socialist hopefuls. The timing — even waiting past the Oct. 18 rallies — makes clear this is about showboating and appeasing radicals, not governing or keeping the lights on for American families.
At the heart of the tantrum is the debate over Affordable Care Act subsidy extensions, a dispute Democrats could end by signing onto a commonsense bipartisan short-term fix that extends help while Congress actually legislates. Lawler has repeatedly said Republicans are willing to negotiate reasonable, temporary extensions rather than watch the entire federal apparatus be held hostage — a plain, practical offer Democrats refuse to accept.
This shutdown is an “absolutely unforced error,” as Lawler warned on Sept. 30, 2025, because it hands enormous power to the executive branch and risks mass federal layoffs — the very chaos the left claims to oppose when convenient. If Democrats truly cared about government workers, national security, and the economy, they would pass the clean continuing resolution that sits in the Senate and stop this self-inflicted damage.
Conservative patriots know what to do: demand our legislators stop the political games, pass the CR to keep the government funded through Nov. 21 and then get back to real reforms that lower costs and restore accountability. Hold the Democrats accountable for choosing chaos over compromise; hardworking Americans didn’t elect them to wreck payrolls and prop up radical agendas, and we won’t forget who broke the country for politics.
