They were willing to starve America's poor to avoid extending the ACA subsidies past 12/31/25. I think Dems just did not plan on Republicans shooting the hostages. SNAP was always paid during previous shutdowns.

Now, with this deal, when budget negotiations resume in January, the GOP won't be able to hold a gun to 42 million SNAP recipients' heads.
