Senate Democrats have doubled down on the government shutdown, blocking a bill that would make sure federal workers wouldn't miss any more paychecks. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin proposed the bill on the Senate floor that would ensure service members and federal personnel who are currently working would get their paychecks during the Democrat-induced shutdown. Only three Democrats in the entire Senate joined Republicans to pay federal workers. 'They want to shut down the government.'The bill ultimately failed, falling six votes short of the 60-vote threshold. Democratic Sens. Jon Ossoff of Georgia, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and Raphael Warnock of Georgia bucked 45 of their colleagues and joined 51 Republicans in support of the bill. "We've heard Democrats criticize [Johnson's] bill because it would provide pay only to those working through the shutdown," Senate Majority Leader John Thune said in a post on X. "They say they want everyone to get paid. Well, I have great news: the clean CR would pay everyone. We just need five more Democrats to support it."RELATED: 'These people are sick': Trump admin slams top Dem for justifying shutdown suffering Photo by Kent Nishimura/Getty ImagesAs Thune and his allies at the White House have pointed out, Democrats are the ones who have consistently voted against passing a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open. At the same time, Democrats are demanding Congress renegotiate Obamacare subsidies that aren't set to expire until the end of the year and insisting on passing their hyper-partisan $1.5 trillion spending bill. "I'll just point out the irony in Democrats holding the government and the American public hostage over a health care system that they created," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during Thursday's briefing. "The health care system was called Obamacare. Why? Because Democrats and President Obama implemented it. And Republicans have always said it's a broken system, yes, but they caused it. And now they want to shut down the government to fix it?"We need to open the government, and then we can have these very important conversations about health care," she continued.RELATED: Democrat senator blocks vote to end shutdown to protest Trump's 'authoritarianism' in drawn-out rant Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty ImagesRepublicans have remained consistent on the shutdown fight. Their resolution is a clean, nonpartisan funding bill that keeps spending at the same rates Democrats voted for over a dozen times in the past. Thune has even indicated he would be willing to give Democrats a vote on the Obamacare subsidies so long as they vote to open the government.Even still, just three Democrats have mustered up the courage to consistently vote with Republicans to reopen the government.

Numerous Democrats are foaming at the mouth over the expansion of the White House East Wing with a stunning 90,000 square-foot addition paid for by President Donald Trump and other donors.In response to the news that construction was under way on Trump's ballroom, Hillary Clinton — the twice-failed presidential candidate and former first lady who absconded from the White House in 2001 with a small fortune's worth of furniture and furnishings that weren't hers to take — said, "It's not his house. It's your house. And he's destroying it."'Thank you for your attention to this matter.'Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), one of the Democrats keeping the government shut down, brought a photo into the Senate on Thursday showing the East Wing's demolition, suggesting it was not only illustrative of the White House's "desecration" but symbolic of what the president is "doing to the whole country."In an apparent effort to troll these and other apoplectic Democrats, the White House's website has been revamped such that it now highlights a selection of past administrations' scandals on the premises.Besides referencing in its major events timeline Presidents William Howard Taft's remodeling of the West Wing, Franklin D. Roosevelt's expansion of it, and Harry Truman's "total reconstruction" of the White House's interior, the website now makes mention of Bill Clinton's sordid sex scandal, noting that the former Democratic president's affair with Monica Lewinsky set the stage for perjury investigations and, ultimately, his impeachment.The website also mentions the 2012 meeting between members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood and Obama White House officials, noting that "the Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist organization by nearly a dozen nations." The White HouseAfter highlighting how first lady Melania Trump oversaw the privately funded construction of the tasteful neoclassical tennis pavilion on the South Lawn, the White House timeline references how a bag of cocaine was found in the West Wing entrance lobby during Joe Biden's time in office as well as the degenerate LGBT event Biden hosted at the White House in 2023 where a medical transvestite showed off his fake breasts on the South Lawn. The White HouseThe new timeline appears to have already ruffled some feathers.Sam Stein, managing editor of the anti-Trump Bulwark blog, wrote, "The White House has revamped its website to defend the destruction of the East Wing. And they've done it exactly the way you'd expect."James Blair, White House deputy chief of staff, said in reply, "Liberal Media has [a] problem with documented historical facts being posted on White House website."Deputy assistant to the president Kaelan Dorr got in on the fun, tweeting to Stein, "Thank you for your attention to this matter."Like Blaze News?
