The Senate on Monday voted against reopening the federal government for the 11th time, pushing the shutdown to the three-week mark with both sides at loggerheads and unable to break the impasse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chamber voted 50-43 on the House-passed continuing resolution to fund the government through late November. It needed 60 votes to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Angus King (I-Maine) once again crossed party lines and sided with Republicans. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who had previously voted in favor of the measure, did not vote on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) was the lone Senate GOP \u201cno\u201d vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tally came days after the \u201cNo Kings\u201d rallies in Washington and across the country, with Republicans hopeful that a deal could come together with those events in the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAST WEATHER HIT 10\/20\/2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there remain precious few signs that the stalemate will dissolve in the near term, likely ensuring that it will extend into a fourth week and potentially into November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In remarks on the floor Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the Democratic position \u201cremains the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe enter another week of Donald Trump\u2019s government shutdown, and Republicans seem happy not to work, happy not to negotiate, and happy to let health care premiums spike for over 20 million working- and middle-class Americans,\u201d Schumer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur country is staring down the barrel of a health care catastrophe, and Republicans will spend this week either vacationing or holding pep rallies at the White House,\u201d Schumer said, referring to the House staying out of session and President Trump\u2019s planned luncheon with the Senate GOP. \u201cGovernment workers must work without getting paid, but House Republicans get paid without working.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dispute has centered on a Democratic insistence for action to extend the expiring enhanced health care subsidies as a condition for reopening the government, with Republicans unwilling and unable to make any such promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Republicans have maintained that no conversation can happen on the tax credits until the shutdown ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is truly amazing how a program Democrats created and tax credits that they chose to sunset have now become the Republicans\u2019 crisis,\u201d Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said in floor remarks. \u201cRepublicans, in fact, never had anything to do with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats created ObamaCare \u2014 alone. They implemented the enhanced tax credits \u2014 alone. And they chose a sunset date for those tax credits \u2014 alone,\u201d he continued. \u201cDemocrats are solely \u2014 solely \u2014 responsible for the ObamaCare tax credit cliff, and yet they\u2019re trying to pin this disaster on Republicans while at the very same time they\u2019re asking Republicans to bail them out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really kind of ironic,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
