Why is keeping America’s government open and functioning a political issue? I’m glad we passed a bill to fund the government through December 3, but cannot understand the Republican default wish that keeps us lurching from one deadline to the next. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are prepared to accept the responsibility of funding the government and dealing with our national debt with or without Republicans. But defeating a filibuster requires 60 votes. Until Sen. McConnell removes that barrier on the debt ceiling, we are stuck at an impasse. https://t.co/4Bbfs0Imti — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans can't have it both ways. If they want to allow us to suspend the limit on our own, they must allow us to do so. Otherwise we will default on our debt and the economy will suffer as a result. It's time to prove they are Americans first and Republicans second. — PolitiTweet.org

If Senate Republicans want to force Democrats to suspend the debt ceiling alone, then so be it. But first Sen. McConnell needs to either lift his filibuster requiring 60 votes for passage or he needs to support @SenSchumer’s request to allow a simple majority to pass this vote. — PolitiTweet.org

With COVID-19 surging and natural disasters swirling, this is no time to shut down the federal government. But that’s exactly what Senator McConnell and Republicans are moving towards—all to avoid suspending the debt ceiling to pay for Trump’s tax cuts. https://t.co/N0TD7QTiG9 — PolitiTweet.org
