    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.

    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.

        Oh, yes, I’m sure they’ll follow through on their pinky promise to be civil like they have every other time in history when they get the chance to dig in. And I’m also sure that Trump will happily not veto a democratic bill to make an example or anything.

    Fucking cowards.

    They caved and got nothing in return except a guaranteed vote that will end in a NO from GOP…

    They gave up the SHIELD WALL and got nothing for it.

    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.

      If they were gonna cave, why put everyone through all the pain first?

      Why pretend they even care at this point?

      Mamdani for President! Legit seems to be the only one who actually cares.

        Let’s see how and what he actually does. God it’s like people have never heard a politician lie to get elected before.
