JUST IN: Democrat Rep. Hints At New Plot To Shut Down The Government In Near Future

A Democrat representative appears to have revealed the party’s next plot to sow chaos in DC and stall President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), who represents South Boston in Congress, told CNN’s Omar Jimenez on Friday that the party could be eyeing a second attempt at shutting down the government when the short-term continuing resolution expires in January.

“Democrat Rep. Stephen Lynch says he is “furious” that the government reopened and suggests the Democrats will shut down the government again in January,” RNC Research wrote on X in a post accompanying the CNN clip.

“I’m, I’m, I’m furious with the senators who decided to bail on us,” Lynch said as Jimenez listened.

“There may be another opportunity in January, when this CR expires, but I’m not sure this experience has stiffened their spine. They should worry more about the people they represent, than, than, you know, the Republican speaker or, or the White House.”

The 43-day shutdown spanning late September to mid-November was a record, beating the 2018-2019 shutdown by a whopping 8 days.

Trump signed legislation late Wednesday evening to reopen the federal government after the historic lapse.

The bill, approved by the House of Representatives in a 222-209 vote after the Senate’s earlier passage, provides funding for most federal agencies through Jan. 30, 2026, and extends full-year appropriations for the Departments of Agriculture and Veterans Affairs, and the legislative branch.

It also restores pay and back pay to more than one million federal employees who were either furloughed or forced to work without pay during the shutdown. Some 650,000 of those workers are expected to return to work as early as Thursday.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a key architect of the funding package, called the measure “a clean resolution that reopens government and restores services,” while Senate Democrats criticized the bill for failing to extend key health-insurance subsidies tied to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
