Slate's guide to the most important figures in politics this week.

^{Published on 2025-03-15 06:40:47 - Slate}

Democrats in Congress, for the first time since President Donald Trump took over, had a say in policymaking, and fully melted down. Trump advertised for a car company at the White House and took further steps to lay the groundwork for annexing Canada.

The article from Slate discusses the looming threat of a government shutdown in the U.S., highlighting the political maneuvering and blame game between Democrats and Republicans. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has been vocal about the potential consequences of a shutdown, pointing fingers at former President Donald Trump and the GOP for not supporting a bipartisan spending deal. The piece also touches on how this political standoff could affect international relations, using Canada as an example of a country watching the U.S. political drama unfold with concern. Schumer's strategy seems to be to frame the shutdown as a result of Republican intransigence, potentially leveraging public opinion against them. Meanwhile, the article notes the broader implications of such a shutdown, including disruptions in government services, economic impacts, and the potential for increased political polarization.
