For one thing, Andy Harris has said he'll vote no in the House if they strike it, which would probably be lights out for it assuming max 1 dem vote

He got his seat by taking out a long time incumbent that had held it since about the time Ferguson was born in a primary.
The primary giveth, the primary taketh away.

Especially when the Republican plan to avoid those costs was "we'll send you a coupon sometime that can't be used to pay for premiums"

I'm seeing a lot of "if Senate Dems knew they were dealing with nihilists, why did they even start a game of chicken", and it's like, that is why. To show the entire country that Republicans are willing to burn it all down no matter how many millions of people suffer.

Well yes, shutdowns as negotiating strategies are bad plans when you have no leverage to actually win any concessions

Yeah, and they immediately appealed to avoid issuing those payments. the ACA subsidies were never going to be extended. The votes to extend them do not exist in the Senate or the House to overcome a Trump veto, so what's the endgame where Democrats "win" on it?

Mike Lee McCaining it because he's morally opposed to SNAP funding would be a really cherry on top of this whole exercise

I don't understand what people were expecting? Keep voting no until Trump disappears into the void? At a certain point, there are diminishing returns. We nuked the Republican parties of VA & NJ and will get a Dem gerrymander of California. That's not nothing.

I'm starting to think the goal is to pass *anything* out of the Senate and kick it to Johnson to try to cobble the votes to pass it on a party line in the house which is...not easy

I'm a big fan of combining the Dakotas to their historical unity. And since we have the pencil out, North California and South California look good too
