Why Democrats need to get over their shutdown crackup — and fast
The party has a chance as soon as next month to exploit Republican divisions on its No. 1 issue. But that will require an end to the current fury.

Senate shutdown deal likely means the Supreme Court won't have to rule in the SNAP case, although they might have to extend the administrative stay ahead of a House vote. Once legislation is passed, SNAP would be fully funded.

What an utter disappointment he has become the past several years
Durbin is a YES on this deal: “At Democrats’ urging, today’s bill is not the same one we’ve voted down 14 times. Republicans finally woke up and realized their Groundhog Day needed to end. This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their shutdown’s hurt.”
