Community health centers serve 1 in 10 Americans on just 1% of total health care spending. But Medicaid cuts of up to $1 trillion and work requirements threaten their survival, potentially pushing millions more toward already overburdened emergency rooms. buff.ly/ie0fC3Z

That said I am lifting up the Senators who I KNOW fought, like my own @vanhollen.senate.gov. We need to press those Senators to demand a different kind of leadership internally. There’s still a lot more work ahead and we need the leadership to be chastened.
I have come to believe this as well. The list is too strange. I don’t think a majority wanted to cave, but many more than the 8.
I think that these 8 Senators are falling on the sword for Schumer and other Senators who wanted the shutdown to end. This allows the majority of Senators to save face; and only retiring or not up for reelection Senators take the heat.
It’s a ruse.

In theory this deal is days away from getting out of the senate unless they all agree to unanimous consent.
So this isn't over yet.
Just don't send the senators any fucking thank yous for standing strong if you are calling them. My god.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.
