“The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands,” the website statement reads.
“The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people,” it added.

Watch live: Trump gives announcement amid battle over drug prices
President Trump is expected to give an announcement on Tuesday from the White House as his deadline for drugmakers to lower prices arrives.

Watch live: House Democrats give remarks as shutdown looms
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Democratic leaders will give remarks Tuesday morning as Congress stares down a government shutdown.
Federal funding is set to lapse at midnight, despite GOP lawmaker's efforts to pass a continuing resolution that would have kept the lights on until mid-November.
Democrats — whose leaders met with President Trump on Monday to attempt negotiations, which fell flat — have vowed to hold back support for a stopgap fun...
Trump says there may be ‘a lot’ of federal workers laid off in government shutdown
President Trump said Tuesday there may be a lot of layoffs in the federal government if Congress doesn’t act to prevent a shutdown by the end of day, blaming the Democrats for a potential lapse in funding.

The Movement: Conservatives warn against ObamaCare compromise in shutdown fight
Conservatives are not at the center of the government shutdown that looks set to begin at midnight.
But they are poised to make it more difficult to end if it begins.

In particular, they want to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced subsidies that expire at the end of the year.
The clearest way ...

Centrists give up hope to prevent shutdown as Trump talks fizzle
Centrist senators are giving up hope of avoiding a government shutdown this week after a contentious meeting between President Trump and congressional leaders Monday failed to make progress on a short-term funding bill.
One Democratic senator who requested anonymity said it’s now highly unlikely that Trump and congressional leaders will reach any preliminary agreement to allow a funding bill to pass by Tuesday’s deadline.
The source said both GOP and Democratic le...
House Democrats rally at Capitol in last-ditch effort to alter spending bill
House Democrats rallied in the Capitol on Monday evening in an 11th-hour strategy session with two distinct goals: To unify the party amid the partisan budget standoff and to compel GOP leaders back to the negotiating table on legislation to prevent a government shutdown.
Huddled behind closed doors in the basement of the Capitol, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and his leadership team used the rare recess gathering to mobilize the party’s opposition to the R...
Shutdown odds rise as leaders leave White House without progress
Congressional leaders left a meeting with President Trump on Monday saying they'd made no progress toward a deal that would prevent a shutdown on Wednesday, increasing the odds the government's lights will turn off in less than 48 hours.
Democrats have been pining for action to extend health care subsidies that are set to expire by year’s end, with Republicans adamant that their stopgap spending bill is a take-it-or-leave-it offer.
