Democratic leaders of both houses of Congress: Continue to seek a cooperative path to reopen the government

House Minority Leader Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Schumer said that for months, Trump and Republicans have made life more difficult and expensive, and now they have shut down the federal government because they do not want to protect the American people's health care. Democrats are still ready to find a bipartisan path to reopen the government in a way that reduces costs and addresses the Republican health care crisis. But we need a reliable partner. In the past few days, President Trump's behavior has become more erratic and unhinged. Instead of negotiating a bipartisan agreement in good faith, he has indulged in releasing crazy deep fake videos. The country urgently needs intervention to avoid another Trump-induced government shutdown crisis. (Jinshi)
