He expressed that a shutdown will favor Trump and Musk, so sounds reasonable?

After reading this I still don’t know why everyone is criticizing Schumer.

Government shutdowns are bad. For everyone employed by the government, receiving government services, working with government agencies, or in case anything unexpected happens. Continuing as-is is easily preferable to not continuing.

I do wonder if a shutdown invokes some sort of procedural change leaving us open to even more shenanigans.

But really the only hint I see is the term “Clean CR”. By definition , you expect a Continuing Resolution to continue. Was this not clean? Were there changes embedded that we would object to? If so, I haven’t seen any detail on this
