[b]Trump's push to abolish the Senate filibuster hits immediate Republican resistance.[/b]
“Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who has said he would resign from the Senate on the same day if Republicans abolish the filibuster, said he doesn’t expect it to be nixed. He noted that Trump also called on the GOP to eliminate the 60-vote threshold during his first presidential term in order to pass his agenda.
“We stood firm there,” Tillis said earlier this month. “I can’t imagine anybody changing now.”
Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, said he “would not be” in favor of weakening the legislative filibuster to pass the funding bill.”

[b]Trump Reluctantly Agrees To Pay For Food Stamps ‘If’ He Gets ‘Appropriate’ Court Guidance — As He Throws Great Gatsby Blowout.[/b]
“Shortly after the ruling, Trump posted a lengthy rant on the rulings even as he was preparing to welcome guests to a party modeled on the epitome of obscene wealth. Trump wrote that he would delay paying the benefits until his lawyers could “ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible” and would do so only “If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court.”

[b]"A taste of their own medicine": Blue states go digital against Trump’s shutdown.[/b]
“Pennsylvania posted their own statement nearly echoing some of the federal government’s format: “Because Republicans in Washington D.C., failed to pass a federal budget, causing the federal government shutdown, November 2025 SNAP benefits cannot be paid.”
What makes these announcements notable is their tone and timing. Many federal government websites and social media accounts have blamed Democrats for the shutdown, but Democratic states are using their platforms to highlight the human consequences of the impasse, effectively holding the Trump administration accountable in plain sight. The messaging is straightforward, factual, and just slightly cheeky — a digital “taste of their own medicine.”

[b]Home Heating Aid Threatened as Government Shutdown Continues.[/b]

[b]Majority of Voters Blame Republicans More Than Democrats for Shutdown: Poll.[/b]
“52 percent believe Republicans and the president are more to blame for the government shutdown, while 42 percent say Democrats. The percentage of voters who point fingers at the Democrats is the highest for the party in NBC News polling over the past three decades.
The poll also found that over one third of participants, 34 percent, say they or someone in their family has been affected by the shutdown, specifically in terms of employment, services, and benefits. That’s the highest share recorded by NBC News in its polling on government shutdowns dating back to 1995.”
