Thune on the federal government employees union demanding Dems vote to end the shutdown: I don't understand last week we would have paid all of them. with the the bill the Ron Johnson bill on the floor. Democrats voted against now voting against their public employee unions who are coming out in favor of paying their paying their workers and opening up the government"

"AG Sec Rollins on Fox Business on SNAP benefits and shutdown: Were talking about XX million Americans who will no longer have access. The lines at the food banks are already lined up. Talk to a Nevada food bank today. They are already out of their supply for the month. I mean it is really really important that we get this government open and the Democrats have got to come to the table and get it done"

"GOP IA Sen Ernst on Fox Business on calls to end the filibuster to end the government shutdown: If we would blow this up we have to remember that Republicans are oftentimes the minority party as we look through our U.S. history. So if we blow up the filibuster and we see Democrats in charge again think about socialized health care across the United States DC Statehood Puerto Rico statehood. XX justices on the Supreme Court. There are so many ways they can hurt our country if we as a Senate blow up the filibuster"

"Dem MA Sen Warren on the head of the biggest federal employees union calling for an end to the shutdown: We want the government to be open and we want the federal workers to be paid. We want little children and veterans to get access to Snap benefits. And we want the American people to be able to afford their health care.But so far Donald Trump has told the Republicans in the Senate not to negotiate and they haven't. And over in the House they're not even here. So we can't sit down and negotiate any kind of an arrangement without Republicans on the other side"

"Dem MA Sen Warren on end of SNAP benefits due to shutdown: I am deeply concerned about that. And I am also concerned that the President of the United States is willing to use children who are hungry as negotiating leverage. He is willing to say to one out of nine veterans in America who count on the SNAP benefit to put food on the table that he is willing to use them as political pawns. The money is there. It is available. It is already been authorized by Congress to make sure that those hungry people get fed and the President of the United States by himself has put a stop to it"

"Dem AZ Sen Gallego on cuts to people using SNAP: So of course I feel for them. But the fact that Republicans are now all of a sudden the party of SNAP benefits Come on. Its laughable. More importantly the people that are on SNAP are also the same people they're receiving some of these ACA premiums. We're going to be able to get a lot of those people their SNAP benefits back. If we don't take care of each of the ACA premiums you're going to see these poor families stuck with very very very heavy and expensive insurance. Or rather they're just going to walk away and they're going to be without"

"Jeffries: Donald Trump and House Republicans are attempting to rig the 2026 midterm elections by desperately gerrymandering congressional maps in red states like Texas Missouri North Carolina Indiana and elsewhere. Democrats will continue to forcefully respond to ensure that the national congressional map allows for a free and fair election next year. Today in Illinois I had the honor of meeting separately with Senate President Don Harmon and House Speaker Chris Welch. The meetings were candid thoughtful and forward-looking.

"Johnson on shutdown on Trump not negotiating to end the shutdown: The president tried his best to negotiate with the Democrat leaders. They effectively gave him the middle finger in the Oval Office. And so he said he did his best. He urgged them not to close the government down because he knew the pain that would be inflicted on the people. And there's nothing more for him to do. This is a this is a Congressional problem. And crisis has been created by the Democrats because they're playing partisan games and there's nothing the president could do. We don't have anything to offer them."

"Thune on shutdown: This wasn't my plan for the month of October. Government shutdown may have been what Democrats had in mind to show the far left that they're fighting President Trump and to get some cheers at the No Kings rally. But that wasn't my plan. My plan was to get the government funded with as little drama as possible. That's why Republicans put forward a clean continuing resolution. No partisan policies nothing new. Who could possibly have a problem with that It would give us more time to continue progress on full year appropriations bills the way we're supposed to fund the"
