@maziehirono Democrats have blocked Republican-sponsored CRs for this reason, while some Republicans have also blocked targeted aid bills.
Context for the shutdown and negotiations
The government shut down on October 1, 2025, due to a breakdown in spending negotiations.

@maziehirono which addressed health care, energy, and other expenses. However, during the current shutdown, they are leveraging government funding to force Republicans into negotiations over expiring ACA tax credits, which would affect health care costs.
English

@maziehirono They also point to previous legislative actions they supported, like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which included measures to lower costs.
Democrats have a record of legislative action aimed at lowering costs, such as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022,
English

@maziehirono Both parties have advanced proposals aimed at both cost concerns and ending the shutdown.
Republicans argue their stance is an effort to hold the line on government spending and say they are working to reopen the government by proposing "clean" short-term funding bills.
English

@maziehirono Some rank-and-file senators from both sides have been engaging in "shadow negotiations" to find a resolution, but leadership remains gridlocked.
Democrats seem to be the only ones actively working to lower costs and reopen the government:
English

@maziehirono Republicans, holding the majority in the Senate, have voted down CRs that would keep the government open, insisting on negotiating the other issues separately after a "clean" funding bill is passed.

Senate Republicans continue refusing to negotiate:

@maziehirono Facts:
House Republicans haven't been to work in 40 days: This is an overstatement but reflects a prolonged absence. House Speaker Mike Johnson adjourned the House on September 19, and the body has been on an extended recess during the government shutdown.

@smdowner @atrupar @EdMarkey @SenateDems The house in the Senate and the White House republican controlled not everyone from the Republican and MAGA support it so they couldn’t pass their own legislation
English

Spare us your vile lies, @EdMarkey.
Emergency funds are meant for crises, not to fix the mess caused by @SenateDems’ relentless obstruction. Also, the reserves are not enough to cover the cost of even a single month of SNAP ($8+ billion).
Democrats must reopen the government and start prioritizing the American people.
