As the deadline looms, the U.S. faces the threat of its fourth potential government shutdown under MAGA House Republicans, who are criticized for prioritizing an unpopular, unworkable agenda over bipartisan solutions. President Biden has stressed the importance of funding the government and supporting Ukraine, warning that even a partial shutdown would significantly damage the US economy by disrupting supply chains, hurting small businesses, risking travel delays, and increasing food prices. Despite the urgency, House Republicans, led by Speaker Johnson, have not presented a proposal to avert the crisis, engaging instead in political games and infighting. This has sparked widespread criticism for their incompetence and for risking essential government services, including programs for veterans. Congressional leaders and President Biden have held productive meetings, expressing optimism about reaching a deal to prevent the shutdown, emphasizing the need to put aside petty partisan games for bipartisan solutions.
It’s shameful that we are 2 days from a partial government shutdown and House Republican leadership continues to waste time on political games. America’s families can’t afford an unnecessary, partisan shutdown —it's time for @HouseGOP to work with us to keep our government open.
As lawmakers, it is our duty to fund the government. Yet once again, we are faced with a looming government shutdown that would have devastating consequences for Virginia's workforce and economy. @SpeakerJohnson must work with Democrats to avoid disaster.

If extreme MAGA Republicans in the House shutdown the government, it would severely damage our economy and bring needless pain, uncertainty, and hardship to our communities. Yet the GOP doesn’t care – their only concern is more chaos.

Republicans have once again put us on the verge of a government shutdown. Many essential government services — including programs for our veterans — will be paused. Make no mistake: House Republicans will own a possible government shutdown. https://t.co/FiqXvzh5Kg
A government shutdown is days away and incompetence from GOP House leadership has brought us no closer to a resolution. Families, workers & communities will pay the price if this chaos and dysfunction continues. @HouseDemocrats are ready to get to work for the American people.
White House: Meeting between congressional leaders and Biden on shutdown was ‘productive’ #cgtnamerica
House Republicans are once *again* marching us toward a possible government shutdown. Their incompetence is not only an embarrassment to our Nation but endangers hardworking families, veterans and seniors who rely on federal support.
Make no mistake about it: Extreme Republicans are openly saying they want a government shutdown. That will harm millions of Americans.

BIDEN WARNS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WOULD DAMAGE US ECONOMY
We're facing a partial shutdown in just a matter of days if Republicans don't act. Federal employees and contractors will be furloughed or work without pay, and Americans will lose access to vital government services. @SpeakerJohnson: choose the right thing, not the right wing.
A government shutdown would hurt millions of hardworking Americans and undermine our economic recovery when families are finding their footing. The House GOP must put #PeopleOverPolitics, pass a bipartisan funding bill, and avoid another harmful Republican shutdown! https://t.co/2P70R0nWzu
❖ BIDEN: NEED TO FIND SOLUTION ON FUNDING GOVERNMENT, THINK WE CAN DO THAT ❖ BIDEN: NEED TO FUND UKRAINE, SITUATION IS DIRE ❖ BIDEN, MEETING WITH CONGRESS LEADERS, SAYS SHUTDOWN WOULD DAMAGE ECONOMY
We're just days away from a partial government shutdown—one that can be completely avoided if House Republicans just get their act together and stop playing political games. We shouldn't have to go through this same dance every few months because House Republicans can't govern.
A government shutdown — whether partial or full — would hurt businesses, devastate our local economy, and threaten the pay of thousands of Virginia federal employees and contractors. @SpeakerJohnson must work across the aisle to avert this crisis. We do not have time to waste.
Yet again, House Republicans are threatening to shut down the government. Even a partial shutdown could disrupt supply chains, hurt small businesses, risk travel delays, and increase food prices for millions of Americans. This isn't a game. House Republicans, do your job.
Even a partial shutdown by extreme House Republicans would mean chaos and pain for the American people.
We are less than a week from an extreme MAGA Republican federal government shutdown. A shutdown would devastate our economy, harm small businesses, and threaten the pay of servicemembers. We can’t allow extreme MAGA Republicans to shut down the government.
We are days away from a completely preventable government shutdown that would disrupt the lives and livelihoods of thousands of Virginians and damage our economy. @SpeakerJohnson and the House GOP majority must work with Democrats to fund the government in a responsible way.
With the government set to shutdown in only days, House Republicans have presented no proposal to avert this crisis. Instead, they have chosen only to continue their political games that gamble with American livelihoods. Their party is fundamentally unserious.
The federal government is headed towards a partial shut down on Friday. House GOP sent us home early last week & we have not seen any movement on govt funding. Instead of working towards a bipartisan budget, the infighting continues. Their chaos only hurts the American people.
MAGA House Republicans are on their fourth potential government shutdown since assuming the majority. They continue to put their unpopular, unworkable agenda above the needs of the American people. https://t.co/y0JbuYUW1h
