Every day this shutdown drags on siphons more than $2 billion straight out of America’s economy—and some of that damage will never be undone.

CEOs from Apple to Walmart, airline executives to hotel chains, warn of “irreversible economic harm” unless Congress reopens the government immediately.

Right now the shutdown is bleeding the nation dry—an estimated $10 to $15 billion in lost output every week, with entire sectors—from manufacturing to travel—grinding to a halt.

More than 800,000 federal workers are furloughed or forced to work without pay. Air-traffic controllers, TSA officers, Capitol Police and military personnel are on the front lines of national security and yet can’t make ends meet.

Democrats are holding the country hostage, demanding expansions of ACA tax credits before they’ll lift a finger to fund critical services.

Republicans offered a clean continuing resolution weeks ago. It funds WIC, SNAP, troop pay, air-traffic controllers, farm programs, housing assistance and national defense—all without partisan poison pills.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune introduced a “no-strings” CR today. It’s ready to pass immediately. Every minute of delay is another blow to families and small businesses.

House Speaker Mike Johnson praises President Trump’s leadership in keeping vital services running where Democrats refuse to act.

The GOP will not negotiate under duress. Lawmakers must choose: end the shutdown now or own every lost job, every closed airline, every missed paycheck.

It’s time for Congress to reopen the government, restore paychecks, and stop the economic bleeding—no more political games.
