Leftist celebrities are lashing out at Senate Democrats after eight members of the party crossed the aisle to vote with Republicans to end the nation’s longest federal government shutdown.

Congressional staffers were notified this week that they will not receive their October 31 paychecks due to the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 29th day.

As the government shutdown nears the one-month mark, Democrats are attacking President Donald Trump and Republicans over expiring food stamp benefits.

President Trump accuses Senate Democrats of holding the government hostage during a 21-day shutdown, demanding a clean funding bill.

Senate Democrats, led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have blocked a Republican effort to reopen the federal government for the fifth time.

During an interview Friday on CNN’s The Lead, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) angrily dismissed Republican claims that Democrats’ spending proposal would expand healthcare access to illegal immigrants, calling the accusation “a lot of bull.”

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) is calling out Senate Democrats for a costly government shutdown, labeling it the “Schumer Shutdown” and revealing that American taxpayers are footing a $400 million-per-day bill for 750,000 non-essential federal employees not to work.
