Hakeem Jeffries: 共和党控制了政府的全部权力，本应与民主党合作制定符合美国人民利益的预算，但却试图强行通过一项极右翼、极端且党派化的支出法案。该法案将削减医疗、营养援助和退伍军人福利等重要项目。共和党多次关闭政府，而这次停摆的责任完全在于共和党，因为他们拒绝与民主党进行合作谈判。这项法案甚至可能赋予马斯克和特朗普政府更多权力，让他们可以不受阻碍地削弱重要的政府服务。特朗普和共和党正在损害经济，他们没有采取任何措施来降低生活成本。民主党人站在美国人民一边，反对共和党削减医疗补助、社会保障和医疗保险的计划，以及为富人和企业减税的计划。为了对抗共和党的策略，民主党将继续沟通，并采取行动来保护美国人民的利益。为了应对可能的政府停摆，美国民众应该积极参与政治，与国会议员沟通，分享他们的故事和观点，并参与倡导活动。 Jane Koston: 就政府可能停摆一事采访了众议院少数党领袖 Hakeem Jeffries。采访中探讨了民主党在政府停摆问题上的策略，以及如果政府停摆，他们将如何应对。

Shownotes Transcript

It’s shutdown day in America, with lawmakers facing a midnight deadline to pass a government funding bill that keeps the proverbial lights on. After days of back and forth, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday he would vote to advance the House Republicans' spending plan to a final floor vote, signaling Democrats may fold on their earlier threats of a funding standoff. But Senate Republicans likely need at least seven more Democrats to help them break a filibuster and avert a shutdown, and it’s not yet clear they have those votes. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York talks about why his caucus remains opposed to the Republican plan, and what’s next if it passes.

And in headlines: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reinstate thousands of fired probationary employees, Russian President Vladimir Putin added more conditions to a U-S backed ceasefire plan with Ukraine, and dozens of people were arrested while protesting the detention of a Columbia University student activist.
