They've have money for ballrooms, for wars-- money for billionaire bailouts, and aid for Argentina that bails out their donor's investments. But not food for poor.

Last night's so-called deal was a tragically disappointing result for the millions of Americans who are facing higher health care costs next year, and for our efforts to confront this bully of a President. I voted no.

Senator Sanders argues that the capitulation to Republicans on the shutdown plays into Donald Trump's hands and his narrative that Democrats are weak.

In addressing whether removing Senator Schumer as leader should be an issue in Democratic primaries, Senator Sanders broadens the focus: "We need to take on the Democratic establishment all over this country."

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?
