The left-wing group 'Indivisible,' supported by Soros, is leading a conspiracy to pressure Democratic senators to provoke a government shutdown

A left-wing activist group, "Indivisible," which has received USD 7.6 million in grants from the Open Society Foundations (OSF), an organization founded by billionaire George Soros and currently chaired by his son, Alexander Soros, is leading a campaign to pressure Democratic senators not to approve a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the federal government, which could lead to a partial government shutdown.
Indivisible, known for organizing protests such as "No Kings" and other acts of resistance against President Donald Trump, is using its web platform to make it easier for citizens to contact their Democratic senators by phone.
The page includes a pre-designed script with empty arguments calling not to give in to Republicans and to avoid handing a "blank check" to Trump, whom they label as an "aspiring king."

Federal government funding expires on September 30, and Republicans need Democratic support in the Senate to overcome the filibuster and approve the funding. However, so far, Democrats, led by embattled Senator Chuck Schumer, have opposed approving bills that do not include progressive proposals.
Indivisible harshly criticizes Schumer for his role in the previous budget negotiation in March, where he worked with Republicans to avoid a government shutdown by approving a package that, according to the group, allowed Trump to use federal funds to "militarize cities and terrorize communities."
In response, Indivisible organized a public campaign to demand Schumer's resignation as Democratic leader, including an event where people wrote him retirement cards.

In this context, Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez openly criticized Schumer for his decision, fueling rumors about a possible Senate run in New York in 2028. A poll conducted by Data for Progress in March showed Ocasio-Cortez leading Schumer by nearly 20 points in a hypothetical primary scenario.
On September 19, the House of Representatives approved a clean CR backed by Republicans to extend funding until November 21, with the support of only one Democrat.
However, in the Senate it did not reach the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster. That same day, Senate Democrats presented a counterproposal, which also failed due to lack of Republican support. This proposal included the reversal of approximately USD one billion in spending cuts from Trump's OBBA law, eliminated restrictions on illegal immigrants' access to health subsidies, and canceled the Medicaid work requirements established by OBBA.

From the White House, a spokesperson harshly criticized the pressure from Indivisible and other left-wing organizations, calling their demands "extremist and out of touch with the American people." The spokesperson also warned that a government shutdown could put essential services at risk such as public safety, the WIC nutrition program, and access to medical care for seniors.
Finally, Trump is expected to meet with congressional leaders the Monday before the deadline, including Schumer, Jeffries, Johnson, and Thune, in an attempt to avoid the shutdown.
