Subject: Re: Shutdown
The Republicans are in the majority in both houses of Congress. They do not need a single Democrat to vote for the continuing resolution. The Senate makes its own rules. All it takes is a majority vote to end the filibuster. The Republicans did this just a few days ago to push through 48 Trump nominees. If the Republicans didn't want a shutdown they have the power to do it. Since they aren't exercising the power they have. They must want the shutdown.
