Thing is, approving this resolution (negating an action taken by President Trump) only required a majority. And, if 5 Republicans had not voted against President Trump, this resolution would not have passed.
There is very little media exposure about this vote. I would think propaganda media would be all over this development because the Republican majority in the Senate were unable to stop the Democrat minority from getting this bill passed to negate a Trump EO. Now that they have accomplished this, I suspect we will see more of this happening.
Meanwhile, the Republicans still have not codified the EOs We The People want codified.
On October 29, 2025, the President of South Korea gave President Trump his very own crown! I wonder if he will wear it for the next "No Kings" rally.

It is now day 29 of the Schumer Shutdown and the last vote on HR5371 to end the shutdown was held on October 28, 2025:
Oct 28 yea = 54 nay = 45 Oct 22 yea = 54 nay = 46 Oct 20 yea = 50 nay = 44 Oct 16 yea = 51 nay = 45 Oct 15 yea = 51 nay = 44 Oct 14 yea = 49 nay = 45 Oct 09 yea = 54 nay = 45 Oct 08 yea = 54 nay = 45 Oct 06 yea = 52 nay = 42 Oct 03 yea = 54 nay = 44 Oct 01 yea = 55 nay = 45 Sep 30 yea = 55 nay = 45 Sep 19 yea = 44 nay = 48
And so we continue in the state of limbo that as few as 6 more Democratic Senators could end quickly by approving the same CR they approved 13 times already - only 1 of those times under President Trump (March 2025), the rest under President Autopen.
No action has been taken on S3012 Shutdown Fairness Act (pay employees) since the vote failed October 23, 2025.
