> It’s over. 10 dem senators expected to cave, vote is tonight

A handful of Senate Democrats on Sunday indicated they are ready to advance a package of bills that could end the government shutdown, multiple sources told Axios.
Why it matters: It is the most significant movement toward a bipartisan breakthrough in the talks to reopen the government in over a month.
At least 10 Senate Democrats are expected to support a procedural motion to advance a package of spending bills and a short term funding measure through the end of January, multiple sources from both parties told Axios.
The deal would include a December vote on a Democratic proposal to extend ACA tax credits for one year, multiple sources said. It would take 60 votes to pass.
It could also include some kind of language to help federal workers who have been laid off under the shutdown.

and left a message that I'm a progressive voter, who won't be pleased if Dems caved without actual extended benefits for Americans on the brink.

They always have vague undefinable terms for their wasteful nonsense.

Every last libfilth asshole is a dishonest hypocrite scumbag fraud. No exceptions.

There not getting 60 votes

Doing this would be a horrible mistake. Personally I think it's b.s. they should need 60 votes anyway. Republicans never needed 60 votes when they tried to repeal the affordable health care act or when they gutted medicaid while giving massive tax breaks to the ultra wealthy. They did it all under reconciliation so they can find a way to extend the ACA subsidies under reconciliation too.
If Democrats do this they will get absolutely nothing out of it.

I don't think we should negotiate with Republicans until they can say "the Democratic Party"
This is going on for too long and it’s getting stupid. From Miriam Webster:
“Using "Democrat" as an adjective (e.g., "Democrat votes&quot is considered grammatically incorrect by many sources and is often used as a deliberate political slur.”
Why would we even discuss anything when they won’t even talk to us without an insult, getting somebody’s name right is minimum respect.

Won't this need to come up again in like 3 weeks or something?

Dems know they are fuqed if the filibuster is nuked for 3 years
That’s how we got the 6-3 SCOTUS
3+ years of 50 vote decisions left

Libs not happy

The deal would not include an extension of the expiring enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies -- a key Democratic demand
1 hr ago
— but it would guarantee a vote in the Senate on the issue at a later date.
There are no assurances that the extension of ACA subsidies would become law.
60 votes will be needed to pass the extension of the ACA subsidies in the Senate, plus it also has to pass in the Rethug-controlled US House.
IF that is indeed the 'deal', then this will likely be shambolic cave-in by the centrists and Schumer.
