Ask not for whom the point is missed. It is missed for thee.

I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.
1. Senate Democrats capitulate on first of several votes needed on government funding
2. Johnson swears in Adelita Grijalva before the House votes on government funding
3. House passes Epstein discharge petition with Grijalva as the 218th vote
4. Senate Democrats reverse course on subsequent votes
BREAKING via Punchbowl

“Speaker Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) before the House votes on a government funding package, according to sources familiar with the planning.“

Durbin: “We have brought this issue as a major national issue from zero to a major factor. Everyone now knows just how important it is and that we are now giving up on it."
Oh @durbin.senate.gov is out on this surrender publicly and he is openly being contemptuous of the base - sounding like the coward he has always been.

A lot of people have suffered, but at least it was for nothing.

More people will now blame Democrats than Republicans for the shutdown. Masterful gambit!

Shaheen: “No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do, though in fairness most were willing to do more than me to make that happen.”
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Credit to Senate Democrats for doing what no one could have expected immediately following a Blue tsunami election with polls showing they weren’t being blamed for the shutdown. Always keep ‘em guessing!

With the anti-RIF measure added to the CR, the only federal employee to lose their job as a result of the shutdown is Chuck Schumer.

This is the fastest possible way to destroy any Democratic Party momentum from last week’s elections.

Just utter incompetence to cave at this point.
