Just feels like a sick joke at this point.
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.

Tampa Airport record is 40. Upper 30s looking very possible! Wind chills near freezing!
Crazy cold for early November!! #winteriscoming #florida #tampabay #coldweather

Legit question: the CR the house passed was for 7 weeks. 5 weeks in. If Senate Ds did a surprise vote to approve, would that back date? Ok, we approved, now negotiate or we shut down in 2 weeks. Force Johnson to swear in new AZ member.
