This seems like a super reasonable discussion of what is going on.
Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.
1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.
Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

The “good” thing about this political nightmare is that I almost forgot about the Bills game yesterday.

Jesus Christ. Dems were NEVER going to get the ACA extension. NEVER. The “win” was the election. The “win” is getting SNAP back. Sell that.
How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

If you think the GOP would have EVER compromised, you have not been paying attention. The “win” was the election. People are going to starve unless this ends. The GOP would be happy if the government never opened.
watching my Obamacare premiums go from $422/month to $1455/month on the Senate floor right now.

As mad as I am, this is true. There are no good options.
Real people were really running out of food. It's much easier to say "hold the line" when your choices aren't standing between "food" and "no food."

“I love a trifle, it’s my favorite pudding.” I’m sorry, what? A cake is your favorite pudding? They shouldn’t allow this show on television.
I love watching GBBO because there’ll be a flapjack challenge and I’m like oh cool pancakes and then they make some bizarre looking oatmeal bar. Thank god we won our independence from these psychos.

I've just directed state agencies to fully fund federal SNAP benefits for November.
President Trump's actions have been senseless and un-American. I'll never stop fighting for New York's families.

Someone please make me a Schrödinger’s Sandwich t-shirt.
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”
