After clamoring for weeks to be sworn into office, newly sworn-in Adelita Grijalva cast her vote to keep the federal government shut down, as did her fellow Arizona Democrats Greg Stanton and Yassamin Ansari. The three Democrats failed to keep the record-breaking U.S. government shutdown going on Wednesday night as the House passed its approval of the bipartisan compromise reached a few days earlier in the US Senate.

Republicans Andy Biggs, Eli Crane, David Schweikert, Abe Hamadeh, Juan Ciscomani, and Paul Gosar prevailed, restoring the funding of the federal government.

The measure passed on a minimally bipartisan vote with 6 Democrats voting with Republicans.

The bill will be a huge relief to much of the country that was dealing with cutbacks in air travel, millions of federal employees and military personnel missing paychecks, and countless other consequences that resulted from the shutdown.

Reaction to the vote was swift on social media.

  1. 1 – 43 days are rookie numbers. Belgium did without for 541 days; let’s do better America!,
    2 – I’ll side with anyone who wants to shutdown the gov, for whatever reason,
    3 – if in fact there was any suffering, pain, or chaos, we should find a way to rid ourselves of such a system as we would a faulty auto or appliance, and
    4 – before you ask with what would we replace it, I would quote Thomas Sowell: “With what would you replace cancer?”

  2. Democrat’s strategy is to shut down the Government while trying to blame the Trump Administration was always transparent and destined for failure. Obstruction is not leadership.

    • like spaghetti at the wall – every piece needs to be removed to clear the wall – more obstruction more pasta to remove – clog the drains – fill the sewers – it is their goal to overthrow and over flow of the governing system on the way to socialism.

  3. Yes just like the turd has not passed away.
    He was worthless, reportedly drunk most of
    Time so i am sure she Will maintain his presence
    And add nothing to any conversations
