Dick Durbin, more than anyone else, knows this. It is essential to reopen the government so that we can have more fundamental discussions, such as whether Trump will deign to allow us to have health insurance in January.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Trump turning this into a loss by going Mad King on federal employees would be pretty funny
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

Sure seems like there’s 4 solid votes to surrender and they’re trying to bully 4 more into flipping

So they’re caving and letting Trump give money directly to people instead of stabilizing insurance markets. It’s both cowardly AND stupid. Masterful gambit.
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

at some point, Democrats need to have values and beliefs they are willing to fight for as actual legislatures in a power sharing system of government. If it is not literal Article 1 powers, then what will they actually fight for?
If 40 million people go hungry, it would be because the Trump administration ignored a court order, not because Democrats fought for Article I powers.
I think one thing we lose sight of is that it’s really easy to chant that we gotta touch the stove, and it’s a completely different thing to be the owner of the ongoing decision that 40 million people gotta go hungry. That’s a heavy thing and I’m not at all surprised that some Dems are worried.

There’s been enough time for senators to deny the reporting, they are going to cave.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

EU5 feels much more complete than most Paradox games are at launch
It's so funny how you can always tell, after a new Paradox game, exactly which people talking about it are relatively new to Paradox games. "It's so empty" "it feels so soulless" bestie that is just what a new Paradox game is like lol, the whole model requires a few expansions to feel complete

At least this confirms stove touching
I assumed that since Schumer asked for such a pathetically low number on the ACA extension (1 year) it would get whittled down to maybe four months and pinky promises.
But if this reporting is accurate, they're not even going to try for four months. They're just going to take the pinky promises.
