Tonight we'll hit 24 hours since the federal government shut down, but what hasn't stopped is congressional Democrats trying to blame Trump and the Republicans (even while some Dems are admitting that it is in fact a "Schumer shutdown").
Naturally, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is for some reason setting up for a presidential run in 2028 even though he's absolutely convinced that Trump won't allow one to happen, is joining the Dems in blaming the president for this shutdown:
Donald Trump just shut down the government.

We've seen a lot of social media polls from Democrats that could end up being deleted:

It's the "Schumer shutdown" and everybody knows it.
