AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

If Chuck Schumer tells Dems to cave without getting ACA subsidies which is what they said they were fighting for I will be relentless in demanding that he be kicked from the role of minority leader and primaried.
