Speaker Mike Johnson is done playing footsie with the Chuck Schumer clown show. Instead of wasting more time begging Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries to show some backbone—he’s going around them. And he’s praying there are enough moderate Democrats in the Senate with a shred of integrity left to help Republicans end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Spoiler alert: there might actually be a plan in place, and it’s catching fire.
According to several reports, a group of Senate Democrats—yes, Democrats—are quietly working behind the scenes, without Schumer’s permission, to get a deal done. That’s right. They’ve realized maybe shutting down the government to appease radical socialist Twitter mobs isn’t exactly leadership. Names like Jeanne Shaheen, Gary Peters, and Maggie Hassan are reportedly floating a bipartisan agreement that includes basic appropriations and a vote on health care subsidies. Nothing crazy. Just normal government function. Apparently that’s now considered rebellious in Democrat circles.
So why the cloak and dagger? Because Schumer and Jeffries have completely surrendered to the far-left wing of their party. They’re not leading; they’re hostage-taking. As Speaker Johnson said, they’re terrified of upsetting the Squad and the Marxist fringe who think compromise is a dirty word and see any attempt to govern responsibly as betrayal. Remember when they all pretended to care about “democracy”? Yeah, me neither.
Johnson didn’t mince words either. “Game on,” he said when asked about the plan to cut Schumer out. And he’s right. With Senate Republicans needing just 7 or 8 Democrats to cross over, and several already signaling interest, it’s absolutely within reach—especially if Rand Paul decides, just this once, not to throw a wrench into everything.
Meanwhile, Schumer is sweating. He knows once a few Democrats defect, the narrative collapses. The shutdown won’t be about “Republican obstructionism” anymore—it’ll be about Democratic dysfunction. And that terrifies him. Because this shutdown wasn’t about budgets or principles. It was about political theater and inflaming the base ahead of elections. Jeffries and Schumer thought they could ride the chaos to victory. Now they’re staring down a revolt within their own caucus.
The irony? These radicals Schumer and Jeffries catered to are now making it impossible for their party to govern. Just like those leftist professors who got eaten by their own cancel mobs, they’ve lost control of the monster they built.
So here we are. A handful of Democrats might finally choose country over party, while their leadership hides behind Twitter activists and MSNBC hosts. If the shutdown ends, it won’t be because Schumer did his job. It’ll be in spite of him.
