I know some people are willing to extend the shutdown to the last federal worker’s foreclosed home, but it’s not going to make Republicans give concessions.

Under the deal, Senate Democrats will be the ones to offer the legislation that will be voted on to extend subsidies, if Republicans vote it down, they will fully own the ensuing chaos in the insurance market.

Magats didn't have the votes in the Senate. gab13by13 Nov 2025 #14

But you have to admit that you want 259 votes making the policy for 273 votes (or 281 if you count the 9) EdmondDantes_ Nov 2025 #19

Ok, i agree that 10 senators should NOT make our policy. (i look at it like union members crossing a picket line). bluestarone Nov 2025 #23
