Newsweek Radio on YouTube: Both Sides Wanted This Government Shutdown

Senate Fails Again to End First Government Shutdown in Seven Years

America’s national divorce already happened. The government shutdown is just the latest proof that both parties care more about tribal warfare than actually running the country. Democrats blame Trump. Trump blames Democrats. But the truth is, both sides wanted this.

This rant breaks down why the shutdown is political theater, why identity politics keeps us divided, and why it’s time to step outside the false construct and start defining a real “big tent” for ourselves.

If Washington can keep flipping the lights on and off, maybe it’s time we learned what we can and can’t live without.
