Reminder:

But for McConnell blocking a vote on a clean CR, the government would be funded and those currently furloughed or having to work without paid, would get their paychecks as scheduled.

The shutdown is on Trump and McConnell.

McConnell allowed a vote in December that passed on voice vote - it was 100% approval. When Trump decided to dig in and shut down because he didn’t get the wall, McConnell decided to block any action to cover for Trump, because a clean CR would embarrass Trump.

McConnell has decided it better not to embarrass Trump than make sure that government functions. That means McConnell is a saboteur and extortionist, just as Trump.
