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?

Also, start here and follow the replies for awesome killer whale facts and stories.
Every time I see a story premised on the presumably surprising idea of rotund, happy-looking whales holding their own against mean, scary-looking sharks, I feel compelled to remind people that orcas WEAR A DISGUISE. The orca is the ONE WHO KNOCKS.

This reminds me of the woman who once spoke to my kid's class about Bigfoot and said they "preferred" the term Sasquatch.
(A woman on a dating app once asked me for a cool animal fact, and I gave her one about killer whales.** She told me I should call them “orcas” to be respectful. I said I was saying “killer whale” with the utmost respect, and that maybe we could each call them what we wanted to. She unmatched me.)
