It's not over? Maybe you can share what you know.
I've been seeing videos like this one and they were filmed after the most recent - I don't want to say the word.
Link to videoWhat do you think?

I don't know much, but several Dem Senators have said, "no way", including Schumer, which is good to see (so long as he holds the fort). DHS funding was a separate bill in the House, which would theoretically--it seems to me--make it easy for the Senate to vote on the other bills separately to keep the government open. But I don't think it has to remain a separate vote in the Senate, and I imagine it's up to the republicans. So, not getting any hopes up. And Fetterman is up to his usual nonsense, we can count him out for sure.

They need to shut down the government if they can consequences be damned.
Otherwise, they know what they are voting for and they are sociopathic scum.
It has nothing to do with "purity." It's about taking a stand at a moment in time that clearly has historical significance.
Enough of the excuses and rationalizations.
And please spare me the- "These are the crumbs we got."- speech.

Gillibrand is hardly my favorite Dem Senator, but I'm pleased to read this.
Gillibrand Calls on GOP to Help Pass Five Remaining Bills Separately
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) put out a statement on Monday showing her support for passing the five appropriations bills in the minibus separate from the DHS bills. She asked Republicans to join Democrats in this endeavor.
“A government shutdown is completely avoidable,” Gillibrand said. “Republicans must join Democrats in advancing the other five funding bills separately and then work in a bipartisan fashion to secure reasonable reforms to restore public safety and trust for any DHS funding bill to move forward.”
