It’s okay because the Republicans promised to hold this exact same vote in a month
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.
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 feel terrible for what Bailey has been through. With that said, i abhor all he stands for. And on top of that, I don’t understand why he’s running a campaign he is absolutely going to lose instead of spending that time with his family. Step aside and make the most of what you have.
Downstate former lawmaker Darren Bailey announced Monday he would continue his campaign for the Republican nomination for governor, 19 days after his son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren were killed in a helicopter crash in rural Montana.

“The vote by Durbin, who will retire at the end of his fifth term in January 2027, reflects the veteran lawmaker’s deeply rooted institutional beliefs.”

And that’s his problem and why it’s good he’s retiring. He still believes in the institution as it was decades ago, long before Trumpism. 😖
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, one of eight members of the chamber to cross party lines and endorse a GOP plan to end the nation’s longest government shutdown, defended his vote on the Senate floor Monday amid intense party criticism of the deal.

The only appropriate way to deal with ANYTHING related to Dr. Oz.
Reporter: Dr Oz said that—

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

Oh well then, everything will be fine. 🙄
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

The pardons are primarily symbolic: No one on the list has been charged with federal crimes, and Trump can't pardon those facing state charges in GA, AZ, NV and WI.

But it's another effort by Trump to recast the history of his bid to seize a second term in 2020. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
