This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

I’m not a conspiracy person but it is an odd combination of Democratic Senators caving: mainly people retiring or not up for re-election until 2028. Moreover, Democratic leadership seems to accept them breaking rank without any consequences or even serious critique… 🙄

The eight senators who voted with the Republicans appear to have lost any hope Trump would negotiate and, in that absence, decided they had to relieve the pain of the shutdown.

Trump and Republicans raised ACA health care premiums. They were unwilling to compromise despite a historically long shutdown and dismal public approval. Holding a vote after premiums go up, and enforcing the vote with another shutdown threat can force Republicans to own the issue

Senate passes bill to reopen the government as 8 Democrats join with Republicans to send it to the House

The legislation would keep the government funded through Jan. 30, without extending ACA funds slated to expire. It now goes to the House, which could vote as early as Wednesday.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur.bsky.social · 17h

An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

I don’t like the Senate deal to reopen the government, but I am happy we can limit the suffering of 1.3 million federal workers who have now gone one month without pay. That is cruel and unnecessary. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

What the Shutdown Means for Government Employees…and All of US

The longest shutdown in U.S. history has punished those who serve the public. It’s time to honor federal workers and remember that public service—not cruelty—sustains our democracy.

🚨 The shutdown isn’t over. The Senate vote was a procedural step, not a deal. Nothing is reopening. Nothing is fixed. Eight Democrats helped move an old GOP bill while families go unpaid and SNAP stays frozen.
