And we will once again be forced to watch as the Democrats find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
They won the elections in a landslide only to turn around and IMMEDIATELY fuck it up.
-
This is the homeostasis of the status quo, turgid and frothing at the edges while slowly gurgling down the drain.
-
-
Last time Schumer caved because he didn't want to inflict shutdown pain on Americans, so he said. This time he did exactly that, then also caved. Motherfucker.
-
Look, upper and middle income flight passengers were being inconvenienced - the Democratic Party cannot stand for that!
Screwing ACA subsidy recipients? They're easy to sacrifice.
-
This past spring, right?
-
Yep. First real opportunity the Dems had to meaningfully oppose Trump, and they rolled over like a trained dog

Oh good a vote in the Senate. Fucking Mike Johnson will never bring it up in the house and you just traded away everything for nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Dems wonder why people have a shit opinion of them and its this.
-
These fuckers are completely complicit. Republicans' word is absolutely worthless. How can the claim they'll vote on healthcare in December be at all believed?
-
You win the best guess award.
-
I believe they'll have a vote in the Senate. And I believe even if it passes, Republicans only agreed to it after confirming Johnson won't even hold a vote in the House.

Good! The LAST thing we Need is for ALL this Hardship to be for SOMETHING! I LOVE Starving WITHOUT healthcare for LITERALLY no Reason!

He's CAVING. Americans, call his office NOW.

Well I was afraid it would just be trans people losing our healthcare, but nope it's everyone.
-
Chuck, you had public opinion on your side and you blew it. Enjoy your retirement.
-
Fuck those traitors.
-
How about, vote on the credits first before the budget?
-
Wonder which marginalized group they threw under the bus for this. My guess is people with disabilities.
-
My guess is all.
-
People with disabilities are fucked without healthcare.
-
-
God. Fucking. Damnit!
-
Doesn't sound like they've reached a deal at all, what a dumb article.
-
Schumer is just offering to lube up the general public again.
-
The deal is "we surrender. Again"
-

Yeah yeah, I know. Trading their votes for the promise of a vote in the future is kinda dumb. But then, there is this nugget buried here:
There is also a negotiation to reinstate all of the federal workers Trump laid off during the shutdown, the report adds.
That might just be worth it, because it would be Congress passing something that puts direct constraints on what the President can do, and daring him to veto it.
Edited to add: don't sleep on the 3 spending bills that are being negotiated too. This effort looks like a continuing resolution that extends most agencies through the end of the year, but those 3 bills constitute full appropriations for agriculture, military construction and legislative agencies. And it looks like Democrats may have won back some funding for programs that the House budget gutted. This is all from the NYT, if I happen to find a non-paywall link I'll add it
-
Great, then the executive will refuse to spend the money and we get nothing. Noting here is good.
-
That is if Trump doesn't bother vetoing anything that is a compromise with the Dems right off the bat.
-
-
I wonder if the bill still has the nation-wide shadow abortion ban in it. I bet it does ....
-
reinstate all of the federal workers Trump laid off during the shutdown
That was already the law.
-
-
Haha my friend owes me $20.
-
Multiple sources granted anonymity told Axios that at least 10 Democrats plan to vote on the deal, which includes supporting a procedural motion to approve a series of short-term spending bills that fund the government through the end of the year. The deal also includes voting in December to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that Democrats have been fighting to preserve, according to the report. There is also a negotiation to reinstate all of the federal workers Trump laid off during the shutdown, the report adds.

For real life?
Vote on it? They don’t control the House or Senate. They’ll lose it.
They have the votes on the Dem side plus GOP defectors to pass something no problem. It would political suicide for the GOP people siding with Dems right to bail on it in a month, especially after people just got hit hard by this shutdown and the bills for their upcoming ACA premiums. I think they've got the votes.
If this was true, there would be no reason not to vote on it all together.
This happened under Biden. (Schumer then, too, I belive) Separated a bill, passed the parts the Republicans wanted, then the Republicans voted against the part the Democrat wanted.
Bend over, here it comes again.
I’m sure they’ll have that vote right after they swear in that congresswoman and release the Epstein files.
I guess you'll find out how it works soon enough.
Good. Fuck the GOP. Let them "suicide" at great numbers.
