Can you acknowledge the possibility that "a shutdown would close the courts, which have been our main way to fight this. So trump and elon would be out there acting with no courts to stop them." or "A shutdown only works as a point of leverage if Trump et al feel pressure to reopen the government."
If the federal agencies don't have any staff, they can't shut things down because that requires staff to do it. It's all nonsense made up by people who are either malicious or have no idea what they're talking about.
Hakeem motherfucking Jeffries is mad at Schumers decision. Adam Kinzinger is mad, a bunch of southern swing state Dems are mad, obviously people like AOC are mad. It's really a minority who want to vote Yes on it, but it only takes 8 Senators to defect for it to pass and America to be fucked.

the government needed to shut down to pressure the republicans.
