Trump Demands Filibuster Death While Americaās Longest Shutdown Cheers
On November 6, 2025, President Trump threatened to rain Hell on Senate Republicans if they didnāt kill the filibusterābecause nothing says bipartisan leadership like blazing rants to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, breaking the record he set himself back during his first term. Trump grumbled about 'blue slips'āthe Senate's ancient way to block judicial picksācalling them a 'disaster' because, frankly, Democratic-approved nominees arenāt his vibe. He fired Virginiaās U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert after discovering praise letters from Democrats, implying loyalty means silence. Meanwhile, GOP Senate leader John Thune just sighed, while Democrats surf the wave of November victories saying, 'The Democratic Party is back.'

Trump's filibuster flex is basically yelling 'Do the nuclear option or Iāll make your life a reality show nightmare' while the government throws the world's longest shutdown party. Meanwhile, GOP senators sip their existential dread quietly.
Watching Trump demand filibuster death mid-record shutdown is like a firefighter insisting the flames canāt go out unless they slam the gas pedal harder.
Trump telling Senate Republicans to end the filibuster is the adult version of 'Do it or else!' uttered by the guy who broke the family TV remote.
