The mounting government shutdown has already started to bite where it matters for working Americans, and even the CEOs of our nation’s biggest airlines are publicly urging a clear solution to reopen the government so commerce and travel can keep moving. Major carriers and industry groups have told the White House and Congress they support the Republican-backed bill to get federal workers paid and flights running again — proof that this is not a partisan game but a real crisis affecting livelihoods and national infrastructure.
President Trump’s blunt call to scrap the filibuster and force a resolution shows the kind of decisive leadership Americans expect when gridlock threatens people’s paychecks and safety. Trump’s frustration is shared by millions who see Washington theater while essential services falter; the president rightly wants tools used to break the logjam and put the country back to work.
Speaker Mike Johnson didn’t mince words on Fox & Friends — he laid the blame where it belongs and warned that Democrats who play politics with workers’ lives should expect consequences. Johnson explained that Democrats have maneuvered to appease their radical flank, and he made clear there will be a price to pay for shutting down the government instead of negotiating in good faith to reopen it.
At the same time, Democrats have been flailing over President Trump’s tough, common-sense strikes on drug-smuggling vessels after being excluded from certain briefings, turning the outrage machine on instead of focusing on the cartels choking our streets with fentanyl. The administration’s actions to protect Americans from narcotics deserve support, and the left’s performative fury — weaponizing protocol complaints while refusing to govern — is galling to every parent who’s lost a child to overdose.
Conservatives should be unapologetically proud of insisting that safety, sovereignty, and fiscal responsibility come first. When airlines, small businesses, and House leadership line up behind reopening the government and confronting cartels, ordinary Americans know who is on their side — it’s the party of law, order, and work, not the party of excuses and perpetual grievance.
Now is the time for Republicans to stand firm and force a clear choice on reopening government: either the country gets back to work under the rule of law or Democrats keep blocking and pay the political price at the ballot box. Washington will never respect weakness; it responds to resolve — and the American people are with leaders who put the nation first, not those who treat crises as campaign props.
