Democrats weigh shutdown blame as Johnson tees up funding vote - Washington Examiner

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : But those Democrats will be under immense pressure to support the legislation after years of panning GOP brinkmanship on government funding.
50% : AS PRESIDENT Progressives staged walkouts and, in the case of Rep. Al Green (D-TX), cane-waving disruptions at last week's joint address to Congress, but the commotion invited rebukes from centrist Democrats warning that the path back to power was in moderating their message, not doubling down on anti-Trump resistance.
49% : The party has largely settled on a coherent message for 2026, warning of GOP cuts to Medicaid and other popular programs if Republicans succeed in passing their tax and border agenda later this year.
40% : But Democrats are still split over how directly to challenge Trump.
34% : The continuing resolution is magnifying tensions in the Senate, however, as Democrats find themselves split over how aggressively to challenge Trump.
32% : The measure, crafted ahead of a Friday shutdown deadline, lacked Democratic input and did not fulfill their demand that Trump spend all money appropriated by Congress.
20% : Trump has unilaterally frozen funding and moved to shutter entire agencies without congressional approval.
