i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Nobody working in an East Coast hotel actually believes that feather allergies exist. On the west coast, I check a box and I get a feather-free room. In the East, requesting a featherless room is the opening of a haggling session.

Big HugOps to the #CNCF events staff, who are about to deal with a scheduling/substitution nightmare. I feel your pain (I've dealt with similar in the past).

Also to anyone working for an airline -- and all the traffic controllers.
