As the government shutdown drags on, President Trump shared a Truth Social post calling on congressional Republicans to end the filibuster, a tactic he calls the “nuclear option.

From Fox News:
“The one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the DemocratsSHUT DOWN the United States of America, and why did the powerful Republicans allow them to do it?” Trump wrote. “The fact is, in flying back, I thought a great deal about that question, WHY?”
…
Trump added that Republicans, who now hold control of Congress and the White House, should play their “Trump card” and go for the “nuclear option.”
“Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!” he wrote.
The President noted that some Democrats had tried to remove the Senate procedure under President Biden, but they ultimately failed when Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema joined with Republicans to stop the effort. President Trump also stated that Democrats would try to abolish the filibuster again upon regaining power.
According to the Brennan Center for Justice, a filibuster is “an attempt to delay or block a vote on a piece of legislation or a confirmation.” With the procedure in place, Senators are able to delay votes on a bill, oftentimes through lengthy, blustering speeches. It takes 60 votes to move past these delays and distractions.
In effect, this means that the Senate, which ordinarily only requires a simple majority to pass bills just like the House, essentially needs a 60-vote supermajority to pass legislation.
The Brennan Center for Justice notes that the filibuster has proven to be inconvenient, “often slowing business in the chamber to a halt.” This rule is part of why Republicans struggled to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill earlier this year. It is also why Republicans, despite holding the majority of the Senate, routinely struggle to pass budgets, often leading to the threat of a shutdown like the one we are in today.
If our senators abolished the filibuster, it would enable legislators to enact President Trump’s agenda at lightning-fast speed, barreling through any and all Democrat opposition. It could, however, enable Democrats to do the same should they regain control of Congress, which is likely why the President referred to it as the nuclear option.
As Republicans consider taking this drastic step to end the shutdown, let’s pray!

Please pray that he does not do this! It will open the door in the future for the enemy to turn that weapon upon us. Pray for a solution that is not the result of the left forcing Trump to make a fatal error. 🙏
I pray in the name of our Lord Jesus for justice to be done, that justice would be restoring the lives of all people depending on Snap to feed their families!
The Democratic Party needs Gods’ intervention to change their stoney hearts.
Lord, please bring these children of the devil to severe Mercy. Amen.
If we abolish the filibuster, then the people will have the action that they voted for! If citizens vote for righteuos people, the righteous ones will get the job done. If the citizens vote in people with evil intent, against the Bible, then they get what they voted for…unrighteous decisions. We have to trust the Lord, pray and do our job to get righteous, God-fearing people who will do the right thing for our country. Let’s abolish it.
One of the prophetic voices of our day, Amanda Grace, has given an excellent word of wisdom (with which I agree):
President Trump should be encouraged to call on a National Day of Prayer tor our country!
Our choosing God’s way over man’s will produce far greater results for good than being pressured by the opposition to choose between 2 very bad options.
Dear Lord, please arrange the circumstances so that those playing these foolish, self-centered political games, are clearly exposed and held accountable for their wickedness. Yours is all power, majesty, authority and love.
Hear our prayers Lord Jesus.
Amen
let’s pray for our nation and government to stop shutdown in Jesus name amen.
“O LORD, God of our ancestors, You alone are the God who is in heaven. You are ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth. You are powerful and mighty; no one can stand against You!”
We pray that You make a way to open up the government just like You opened up the Red Sea in Exodus, chapter 14–so that You alone get all the glory. We ask that You first make any adjustments to the budget so that it aligns with Your will. And lastly, that You bless it. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen!
“The LORD Himself will fight for you. You won’t have to lift a finger in your defense “—Exodus 14:14

LORD, we need your guidance on this filibuster issue. We normally don’t have a problem with clarity most of the time on political common sense, but this one has us perplexed and needing YOUR DIVINE guidance, not only for us, but I would suspect others who may feel the same.
On one hand we are so tired of liberal politicians who don’t have the Nation’s best interest in mind, and clearly understand the President’s thoughts and frustration he must be having. On the other hand this one has us concerned for my kids and grand kids future when liberals regain power, which they ultimately will, and the threshold of the filibuster would stop them if they would respect the filibuster rules, as two Senators did not long ago. We personally PRAY for my children and grand children’s sake that isn’t until they can get themselves back under some resemblance of YOUR ALMIGHTY leadership again.
We would prefer that the President sign an Executive order ending this shutdown with the clean resolution that is fully supported by his party, and to end the nonsense of those stopping the legislative process. I don’t really know if that is the absolutely right tactic either, but it feels better to us.
What we do know LORD, is that YOU know the answer and what is best for the Nation now, and for the long term for our kids and grand kids future. We PRAY that whatever WILL YOU have for this situation would come to a conclusion before any real trouble would happen in the streets of the Nation.
The founding Fathers were wise to set up the Senate they way they did. Eliminating the filibuster would be a short term gain with disastrous long term consequences. The Democrats could pass heinous bills if the shoe was in the other foot, and one day it will be. We would see abortion bills, anti-gun bills, the list goes on. I pray that the Senate holds strong against Trumps short-sighted request.
Amen!!!
Lord Jesus, I pray that You give our leaders in Washington wisdom as to how to proceed with ending the filibuster, and the government “shutdown”….these juvenile games need to cease. Thank you Jesus.

If we truly depend on God scripture tells us to take no concern about tomorrow. God is in complete control.
Meanwhile, Congress is not working and being paid while the working class is working and not being paid. Enjoy your meals today because you never know when your day will come. Prayers are going to God to help those elected officials who work for the people and are being paid with tax dollars. Tax dollars that are coming from the working class. These people have hearts of stone. Shame! Shame! Shame!
Lord,
The majority of our country look at the disfunction of our government and wonder how it can’t move forward. We see a majority of leadership on our side and want to blame our side, when the problem is the 60% that is required and the filibuster. It looks bad and is bad but on the other hand could serve the other side. I believe it is time to let the Republicans fix what’s wrong and then set it back. I depend on You for guiding this in Your wisdom and oversight. Time is limited and getting shorter. Be with those most affected by the shutdown.
The Democrats will oppose anything and everything that President Trump wants. Our founders put many tools in place to ensure that laws would be passed thoughtfully. The filibuster is one of those, however, I have come to the conclusion that the filibuster must be eliminated. Certainly the Democrats will do so if they ever regain control of the Senate. We have a narrow window of time and there is still much to do.
TRUMP IS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING
DO AS HE SAYS, GOD IS BEHIND HIM, HE SAVED YOUR LIFE, MY LIFE AND MANY MORE.
Stop the nonsense Do itt!
