Tom Emmer, U.S. Congressman representing Minnesota’s 6th district since 2015, used his social media platform over the weekend to urge Senate Democrats to pass a continuing resolution and reopen the federal government.
On October 4, 2025, Emmer posted: "From airlines to veterans, the message to Democrats from the American people is clear: PASS THE CLEAN CR, REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT."
Later that same day, he criticized Senate Democrats for their approach to government funding negotiations. In a tweet dated October 4, 2025, Emmer wrote: "Senate Democrats, including @SenAmyKlobuchar and @SenTinaSmith, are holding government funding hostage unless they get $1.5 trillion in new spending and illegal aliens put back on taxpayer-funded health care. They’re putting Minnesotan guardsmen, women, infants, and children at"
The following morning on October 5, 2025, Emmer voiced agreement with an advocacy group by stating: ".@Protectaxpayers is absolutely right."
