Chuck Schumer is FURIOUS! “I will NEVER vote to shut our government down…I reject calls to defund or abolish ICE.” Fetterman says he’d like to see changes, but he is indicating he will STILL vote to keep the government open if it comes to that — breaking with other Democrats, who want to force a shutdown to get these changes. Bill needs 60 votes. Fetterman said here, in November 2025 during the last shutdown: “My party crossed a line.”
🚨 BREAKING: Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) tells Democrats NO, he’s NOT shutting down the government this week — and he won’t defund DHS OR ICE

- Fetterman’s right to reject shutdown theatrics — but let’s not pretend Democrats’ sudden ICE outrage is about accountability. The same party rubber-stamped $170B for DHS in 2025’s “big, beautiful” enforcement bill, no questions asked. Now they’re clutching pearls over ICE operations they funded? Classic D.C. hypocrisy. Shutdowns don’t fix waste — they just punish taxpayers. If Schumer’s caucus wants real reform, start by auditing the $55M “community engagement” slush funds buried in last year’s DHS appropriations instead of staging performative votes.
- Way to go, Senator Fetterman (D-PA)! Finally, a Democrat with some common sense and backbone. Could you please rally more Democrats to the center? Tell your party to stop the radical nonsense—NO more threats to shut down the government, NO defunding or abolishing ICE, NO sabotaging border security while criminals flood in and Americans suffer. Fetterman rejecting Schumer’s fury and standing for law & order is a breath of fresh air. America First means secure borders, full support for ICE heroes, and putting citizens over illegals—something even some Dems are starting to see. Chuck Schumer is furious? Good! Let the radicals rage while real leaders (even across the aisle) wake up to reality. Rally the sane ones, John—help end the division, stop the shutdown games, and back President Trump’s agenda for a safer, stronger America. – Anthony C
