This evening:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 26, 2025

To all the 30,000 plus federal employees in the Kansas City area, many of you living in the current 4th congressional district and many living in the “new” fourth under the Missouri first map….

Please be advised that if a government shutdown happens on October 1, it will be a “Schumer Shutdown”.

@HouseGOP has done our job. We passed a continuing resolution to extend the current funding levels to November 21 to give us time to pass the remaining appropriation bills for 2026.

The Democrats want to shut down the government, to prove to the extreme side of its party that they are fighting @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and us. Republicans want to keep it open with a “clean” CR.

Stay safe and God Bless.

~Mark

Gaslighting clown.

Some of the responses:

Guess it’s different when it’s not doge firing everyone?

Perhaps Republicans could have worked with Democrats for once. They are only asking for concessions that are wanted and needed by “We the People”.

This isn’t going like you expected- and I LOVE that for you!

Republicans have the majority

Wrong…you’re so full of it. You know, God is watching you.

WWJD

You all are in power. It’s on you!

All that “listening” you said you were doing at those townhalls…. Apparently you don’t know how to HEAR!

Missouri First? I think you meant Trump First? Do you have to go to confession each time after you say that?

The Republicans are in control of every branch of our government. If the government shuts down. It’s. Your. Fault.

Seems like the GOP cannot do simple math or think their constituents are stupid. Which is it Mark? Can you explain if you don’t understand how the GOP has the majority of both houses or do you think we are too stupid to know how that works???

it takes 60 votes in the Senate

Then they need to roll up their sleeves and come up with a solution, eh? But that isn’t happening.

doesn’t matter to me. The GOP owns this. They can’t govern because they are too busy licking Trump’s boots rather than trying to serve the people who elected them. Every single one of us should be furious. If you’re not, then you aren’t paying attention.

Your party is in control across the board… stop blaming others for your inability to govern!!

You should go back to standup comedy or whatever you were doing.

Newsreader.

Wrong. GOP failure to lead since Republicans control both houses and the executive branch. People see through your lie. #ShowMeBetter

Please stop lying to your constituents. GOP has the majority in House and Senate. Trump cancelled the meeting with top Dems.
Hard to “stay safe” when your party is trying to strip so many of their healthcare. Do better and work across the aisle. The voters didn’t vote for your party to shut down the government.

GOP is responsible for not negotiating and demonizing those who didn’t vote for Trump. You have a responsibility for all your constituents.

Nice try. Republicans are in charge of the Executive branch, Senate, and House. Keep making excuses.

Seriously, do you not get how upset you are making your constituents? You are not representing.

Belton, Missouri.

Please, if you have to work this hard to place blame, we know it isn’t true. It just makes you look weak and pitiful.

You definitely are not doing your job.

If magat’s only knew how to balance a budget…. Somehow Democrats can but you folks can’t even talk about how to do it with them….

You really think people are stupid don’t you? Lol.

You have total control of the house, senate, and white house. Maybe if you had better policies you’d have more of your republican congress members on your side to vote this through, and you wouldnt have to illegally redistrict mid-decade. It’s kinda embarasing your policies are so weak and unlikeable that you have to play out of turn and rig your own map to win.
Stay safe. God bless.

More Alford propaganda

Sounds like a Trump shutdown
[….]

Stop! You own this shutdown!

You’re such an idiot.

Who in the fuck votes for this guy?

You’re lying again! Trump wouldn’t meet with the Democrats, and Republican House members are on vacation this week. So of course no negotiations can take place!

You’re not doing your job. You’re a boot licker for Trump, and that’s it.

Zero accountability. Republicans have been in charge. Republicans pulled the nuclear option even, to get their nominees through. Republicans can own this.
You, Mark Alford, can own this.

Nope- this is all MAGA bootlickers fault. You can’t gaslight the American people anymore.

You own three branches.
If things get shut down, it shows your inability to do your job.
Passing the buck isn’t going to cut it.
IIRC, your team pulled the same shit not long ago and you blamed the Dems then too.
Again…we are not all stupid and gullible, Marky Mark

Gaslight much? Wait until your constituents’ health care tax credits expire.
