Democrats warn of 'DOGE 2.0' if government shuts down - The Weekend - MSNBC



With a potential government shutdown looming, the White House is threatening mass layoffs of federal workers if Democrats don't pass a Republican-supported continuing resolution to fund the government into November.

But many in the Democratic base are urging the party's leadership to fight back in a shutdown battle, and show more pushback to Trump's increasingly authoritarian agenda. Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (D-PA), member of the House Appropriations Committee, joins The Weekend to discuss. - Aired on 09/27/2025.

The staff at the VA hospital is leaving in droves as the DOGE cuts have undermined veterans health care and overburdened VA healthcare providers. The hospital is waiting to be privatized.
