CNN said the quiet part out loud on Sunday evening after the Senate voted to advance legislation to reopen the government.
The US Senate on Sunday evening voted to break the filibuster, paving the way to reopen the government.
After 40 days of a government shutdown, eight Senate Democrats caved and joined the Republicans to advance legislation to reopen the government.
Democrat Senators and Independents who caucus with Democrats voted in favor: King (ME) Fetterman (PA), Cortez Masto (NV), Shaheen (NH), Hassan (NH), Rosen (NM) Kaine (VA) and Dick Durbin (IL).
The Motion to Invoke Cloture on the House-passed continuing resolution was passed on the 15th attempt by a vote of 60-40. Republicans plan to amend the bill and attach three full-year-long appropriations bills.
The Democrats held Americans hostage for more than a month.
They even admitted it privately and said they would keep the government shut down until planes are falling out of the sky.
CNN said the quiet part out loud last night and admitted the Democrats own the shutdown.
“You’re looking live at the Senate floor as the Democratic filibuster has been broken,” CNN said on Sunday evening.

The Senate is expected to reconvene on Monday to vote on the spending packages.
Speaker Johnson on Monday said he will call House members back to Washington as soon as possible to vote.
“At the very moment that they [Senate] do that final vote I will call all House members to return to Washington as quickly as possible. We’ll give a 36 hour formal and official notice so that we can vote as soon as possible to pass the amended CR bill to get it to the President’s desk,” Johnson said on Monday morning.
Johnson added, “[Trump] is very anxious to get the government reopened.”

What most people don't know is this long shutdown, caused by Democrat filibuster, could have been shortened by changing the rules for Senate filibuster. Currently there is a gentleman's agreement that the "silent filibuster" is allowed. That means all some Senator has to do is say they are filibustering. Period. And it takes a vote of 60 to end the filibuster.
But, the rules of the filibuster can be changed with a simple majority vote to require any filibuster to speak without taking a break, like it used to in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Everyone would get to talk, each declaring a filibuster. But, once that is over, the filibuster dies and the vote in the Senate reverts to a simple majority. And, there would have been no need to completely get rid of filibusters, which many oppose or to work to reach a 60 Senator vote.
Imagine if all those decrepit Democrat Senators tried to stand and talk very long. The filibuster would have been over a lot sooner. But, while many Senators do not understand the details of their Byzantine rules, some do. So, while the Democrats did the filibuster, there was a path to end it sooner, rather than later, but IMO both sides believed it would advantage them, while ignoring the true needs of the country. I do believe also that in general, news media, are culpable as well, becoming merely he-said, she-said gossip mongers who fail to do any research.
