They cannot even bring a bill to the floor. They are still the minority in the House and the Senate. They do not have the power or the means to "shut down our government". Republicans, at least until January 3rd, control all the branches of government. Only they can determine if our government closes or stays open. The Democrats have very little to say about it.
