[ad_1] The Schumer Shutdown continues, though the Senate will meet once more on Sunday afternoon to see if it might probably make progress on ending it.

On Saturday, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) put Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on the grill, asking first if he had one thing to supply in writing so they may know precisely what they had been speaking about, after which, if the proposal had earnings caps on who may get subsidies, or if millionaires would get them.

— Amber Jo Cooper (@AmberJoCooper) November 8, 2025 Schumer did not actually reply Moreno's questions, saying Republicans hadn't put one thing in writing. His squirming in response was fairly one thing, with loads of double-fisted hand motions.

That response was filled with holes, and Moreno wasn't shy about pointing them out.

"So simply to be clear, primary, he [Schumer] acknowledged that the Democrats haven't put ahead a written proposal that folks may have a look at. Quantity two, he acknowledged that his plan can be to permit millionaires...would obtain Biden-era Obamacare COVID Obamacare subsidies. No earnings cap.

I used to be going to ask him earlier than he stormed out of the room, as a result of, evidently, he doesn‘t need to hear any opposing views or really have interaction in significant negotiation. [....]

Would he proceed zero greenback premiums, which we all know for a truth, have huge ranges of fraud...If he had stayed, I'd have requested him a 3rd query: Does he need these monies to go on to insurance coverage corporations?"

Moreno emphasised that the cash does not go on to the individuals; it goes to the insurance coverage corporations. So he listed: no earnings caps, millionaires getting COVID subsidies, zero-dollar premiums crammed with fraud, and Schumer needs to make insurance coverage corporations even richer. And I would add to that: with out fixing the issues raised by Obamacare within the first place.

Schumer would not reply easy questions and stormed out, but he spoke about Moreno defending billionaires. Looks like that is the pot calling the kettle black there. He mentioned they need to agree to increase it, and so they'd negotiate what Moreno was speaking about later. That is precisely how we acquired caught on this mess to start with, with Obamacare. Democrats shoved it by, with out Republicans, and this shutdown has uncovered how unaffordable the "Reasonably priced Care Act' actually is. That is like "It's important to move it to know what's in it." He needs it handed first with out even answering such questions. That is nuts, but Democrats are claiming it is the Republicans who do not need to negotiate.

Very important trade. @berniemoreno goes exhausting within the paint 👏 https://t.co/ZeBpWhxyS2

— Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) November 8, 2025 Extremely essential trade right here.

Democrats’ whole shutdown technique RELIES on individuals not discovering out what's of their proposal.

It’s worse than “move the invoice to search out out what’s in it” as a result of they don’t actually have a invoice.

So Schumer storms off after being questioned. https://t.co/c7PflXtwce
