Sit DOWN: Senator Who' Voted 11 Times To Shut Down Gov't Tries Coming At Republicans And YEAAAH, No

Posted • October 20, 2025: Ever since Chris Murphy hooked up with that progressive social media woman (who he reportedly left his wife and children for) his timeline has only gotten dumber and dumber. Don't get us wrong, his timeline always sucked, but now he not only sucks on content, but his messages come across like some angry mean girl. Which means his lady friend is likely writing what he's posting, or in this case, saying. Murphy knows damn well Trump made sure our TROOPS were paid, he wasn't playing favorites, but his angry girlfriend probably wanted to use this as an opportunity to play the king's card again, so here we are. Watch this nonsense: —— Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT: “Another week in Washington and Republicans are still on recess, boycotting negotiations - while the government is shut down. Now, Trump is moving money around to pay only the employees he favors - another sign that he wants the government shut down so he can act like a king.”

Yes, he made sure the troops got paid. Is he really going to complain about that? Bro. Especially since we all know he and his fellow Senate Democrats are the reason the government is still shut down. Tacky. —— "Democrats deliberately timed the funding to expire at the end of 2025, to coincide with the expiration of the 2017 tax provisions. “We wanted it to be part of the tax reform debate,” said Wendell Primus, a longtime health aide to Nancy Pelosi" https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G3tRNOZXAAA_oIi?format=jpg&name=medium —— Democrats Engineered the Healthcare Crisis. Democrats designed the Obamacare subsidies to expire at the end of 2025 when they renewed them with the Inflation Reduction Act… This was not an accident. Wendell Primus, Nancy Pelosi's longtime health aide, admitted the strategy on the record: "We wanted it to be part of the tax reform debate." Read that again. They deliberately timed healthcare subsidies, coverage for 20 million Americans, to expire alongside the 2017 tax provisions. Not to help people. To create leverage.

The subsidies passed in 2021. Temporary. They extended them in 2022. Still temporary. Democrats had two opportunities to make them permanent. They chose not to. They chose a 2025 expiration. They chose to weaponize healthcare. Now follow the money. Who benefits when Democrats demand renewal? The patients facing a "healthcare cliff"? No. The healthcare industry. Doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, and disease advocacy groups formed a coalition to lobby Congress for extension. The NYT article states it plainly: "To health professionals and insurance companies, the expiration of the subsidies will mean less revenue." Less revenue. That's the stakes for them. Not patient care. Revenue. The subsidies cost $335 billion over a decade. Democrats funneled that money to insurance companies, the same companies the Trump campaign said "benefit more than American patients" from this poorly designed program. Then Democrats set a timer on it. Then they positioned themselves as the saviors when the timer runs out.

The timeline proves intent: 2021: Pass temporary subsidies —— 2022: Extend temporary subsidies (could have made permanent, they didn't) —— 2025: Subsidies expire, conveniently aligned with tax negotiations they thought they would have. —— 2025: Democrats demand Republicans cave on taxes or "millions lose healthcare." —— This was the plan. Primus confirmed it. The question Democrats won't answer… If these subsidies are a "moral imperative", if losing them creates a crisis so severe that millions of people will lose insurance, why make them temporary at all? If this is about protecting vulnerable Americans, why set an expiration date? If this is about healthcare, why time it to tax reform? The answers are in the record. In their own words. In the lobbying coalitions. In the $335 billion flowing to insurance companies while Democrats position themselves as champions of the uninsured. They built the cliff. They chose the date. They partnered with the industry that profits.

And now they'll campaign on saving you from the disaster they designed. That's not healthcare policy. it's extortion. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G3qWuMjXUAA2SIN?format=jpg&name=900x900 —— The democrat shutdown… you should be ashamed. (…)
