House Democrats fumed at Chuck Schumer over their desire for a government shutdown on October 1st, when the government runs out of money.

Schumer blocked their efforts in March and they worry that he’s going to do it again, even though he’s saying he won’t. They don’t believe him.

Here’s more about what was said in the meeting:

House Democrats still feel that Schumer betrayed them in March by supporting a Republican funding measure that they almost unanimously opposed — and they’re worried he’ll do it again.

“There was anticipatory anger rooted in what went down in March … Schumer was named explicitly,” one House Democrat told Axios on the condition of anonymity to offer details of the private meeting.

“The overriding concern was that Senate Democrats will get cold feet. Schumer can’t sh*t the bed.”

Some House Democrats aren’t buying Schumer’s resolve. “We don’t want to get screwed again by the Senate,” a second House Democrat who was in attendance told Axios.

A senior House Democrat said there was “mucho” anger in the meeting about Schumer and the Senate.

Several moderates, including Reps. Kim Schrier (D-Wash.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), stood up to express the views of their constituents that the party should put up a fight over government funding, according to several lawmakers.

“Lots of concern … that we aren’t sending a message that fights enough,” is how a fourth House Democrat described the overall message (a Schneider spokesperson disputed that he criticized leadership).

Jeffries, for his part, told his members he is willing to reach a solution to the government funding impasse but not at the expense of Americans’ health care, according to lawmakers and leadership sources.

Members broadly agreed that Democrats shouldn’t give in without any of their demands being met, though there was debate about what that fight should look like and to what extent the party should go.

Specific health care-focused proposals, including extending Affordable Care Act subsidies and reversing Medicaid cuts in the “big, beautiful bill,” have been floated as potential demands for the administration.

But some in the party want more profound checks on what they see as creeping authoritarianism and power consolidation by the Trump administration.

For ages and ages, Democrats have been wholly against a government shutdown, claiming all manner of harm would come to the American people if it actually shut down. Suddenly, they are on the opposite side of the issue and are now chomping at the bit for a shutdown.

Yes, some of us conservatives have wanted them in the past, but Republican leadership has never wanted them and has never fought for them. So technically, they have at least been consistent, even if it was to our detriment at the time.

Democrats need a shutdown because their constituents want them to fight, something they haven’t been doing very well lately in the second term of President Trump. In fact, they’ve been losing their arses over and over this year and now they just need something to give them traction with their voters. They’ll say it’s about this issue or that issue, but in reality they just need to try and get a win on something, and the media will do everything they can to try and that happen.
