On the same day, Huffman commented on the looming threat of a government shutdown: (1/2) We’re 11 days away from a government shutdown, and Republicans just jammed through a partisan funding bill that will never pass the Senate – and then sent all of us home. He followed up with another statement: (2/2) Democrats are ready to support a budget that lowers costs and protects Americans’ health care, but the GOP refuses to negotiate. Republicans have total control of the government. If there’s a shutdown, they’re responsible. https://t.co/VUN6m95gGa (September 19, 2025).
