Per NBCNews, Johnson says he’ll swear in the new Dem Rep then dismiss the House again.
She’ll be able to sign Massie’s
petition, though. So I guess he’s saying he’ll ignore the petition and not have the House vote on it.

The Dems caving is even worse than you think.
CR they voted for last night ends Jan 31 - AFTER it’s too late for anyone to get better premiums for 2026.
Had they caved Day 1 for the same nothing they got last night, it would have expired Nov 21 - it was never about ACA subsidies.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

Let's raise $258 by Monday for Bobby's GoFundMe -- his on campus room is $280 every day and he will be at UCLA for at another week.
He is recovering from his kidney surgery, but now he has to undergo complex bladder surgery this week, which is very common.
Please chip in $10, $25, $50 or more:

Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in bid to overturn 2020 election, pardon attorney says
The pardons may be largely symbolic as none of the people listed were convicted of federal crimes, which the presidential pardon covers.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.
Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.
Tentative Senate deal to end shutdown, multiple sources tell me & @frankthorp.bsky.social:
—CR through Jan 30
—Approps minibus
—Fully funds SNAP
—Reverses Trump’s shutdown RIFs
—Promise of Senate vote on ACA subsidies by Dec second week (details/outcome uncertain)
—Led by King/Shaheen/Hassan
