Democrats Block Bipartisan Defense Bill After Refusing To Reopen Government

Rapid Response

Senate Democrats claim to be "fighting for healthcare for Americans” but voted to keep the government shut down ten times and shamelessly blocked the bipartisan 2026 defense spending bill that includes a pay raise for our troops.

They are lying to the American people about who is responsible for this shutdown — even their own Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman  said so.
 


 

While Republicans work tirelessly to reopen the government, Democrats are playing political games with our national security — refusing to pay our servicemembers or protect the nation unless taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals is part of deal.

Democrats have grossly surrendered our national security and troops in order to pander to their far-left base.
