Political Quotes

“Today is November 7, 2025. We are now 1 month and 7 days into the longest shutdown in the history of the American Government. Democrats can stand here and claim they have broken the record, but for what? For leverage? For politics? Meanwhile, in every State in this Union, the American people are getting hurt. They don't seem to care one bit. Soldiers are working without pay at Fort Bragg in Georgia. Where are the two Democrat Senators from Georgia? A single mom in Michigan is struggling to put food on the table for her children. Where are the two Democrat Senators from Michigan? Capitol Police officers and staff members on this very floor in this very building are struggling to pay their bills. Do the Democrat Senators care about any of them? The government is still closed. They are not getting paid. Each and every one of these people is being hurt by the Schumer shutdown--every one of them--and every day, it gets worse for them. Yet Senator Schumer bragged to the press--bragged to them. He said: Every day gets better for us. I am wondering who 'us' is. Certainly not the American people. Certainly not the people whose flights were grounded today all across the country. You know, to keep our airlines and to keep our skies safe, the FAA directed airlines to reduce the number of flights. It is the right thing to do. This has impacted airports all across this country. That is the impact of what the Democrats are doing by keeping this government shut.”
