If you want Democrats to hold the line for months, you need to be preparing your household to hold the line for months. It’s that damn simple🤷🏾♀️
If you go back to business as usual when/if the government re-opens (as long as republicans are in power) that’s 100% on you

Senate advances budget bill. Ignores healthcare subsidies, but undoes furloughed workers and provides back pay. 8 Dem's vote for it. Thune said he would allow a vote on a bill to deal with the credits by the second week of December. Johnson may not allow a vote.

Senate advances funding bill to end longest US government shutdown in history
The amended package will still have to be passed by the House and sent to Trump for his signature, a process that could take days

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

Getting a “promised vote” in the SENATE ONLY is such a joke. First of all it’s a promise from republicans, so it’s worthless. Second, there’s no promise of any vote in the House and no reason to believe Mike Johnson would ever allow one.
