Facts NOT Hakeem Jefferies LIES, just sit down and SHUTUP HAKEEM!! House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has publicly and repeatedly criticized House Republicans for being on vacation during the ongoing government shutdown in October 2025. The House of Representatives, under Republican control, passed a “clean” continuing resolution (CR) on September 29, 2025, to fund the government without Democratic priorities like Affordable Care Act subsidy extensions. The bill is now with the Senate, where it has faced repeated failed cloture votes (at least 10 by October 17. The Senate has been actively in session and voting, but substantive bipartisan negotiations have stalled due to both parties’ conditions. Republicans insist on passing the clean CR first before discussing Democratic priorities (like extending Affordable Care Act subsidies), while Democrats refuse to support the CR without those concessions bundled in.
