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

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film

Don't open the government. They will not stick to any deal and they will laugh at you for even agreeing to their non-existent deal. I say you don't open the government until Rep Grijalva is seated. As I understand it, the House can be called back in session during a shutdown.
If you're going to rely on "strong assurances" from Republicans then you're stupid and weak and you should resign.
There is only one path to getting Democratic assistance with anything: the House reopens, swears in Adelita Grijalva, then passes an acceptable budget.
