Thune criticizes Democrats over government shutdown: U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed concerns regarding the ongoing government shutdown, criticizing Democrats for what he views as a shift in their stance against shutdowns. He urged them to support a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government, arguing that political pressures from the far-left are hindering action.

Shutdown consequences highlighted: Thune noted the ongoing impacts of the shutdown, including flight delays, loss of telehealth services, and food insecurity for military families. He asserted that Democrats have blocked 12 opportunities to advance a resolution that would restore funding and pay federal workers during this time.

Call for bipartisan action: During his remarks, Thune stressed the need for cooperation, urging Democrats to join Republicans in passing legislation that would fully fund the government. He emphasized that just five Democratic votes are needed to secure a resolution, potentially ending the shutdown and alleviating the struggles faced by federal employees and families across the nation.
