“plans” does he?
NEWS -- SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON plans to swear in Rep.-elect ADELITA GRIJALVA before the government funding vote.
This will not change the vote count on the funding bill. But it will put the EPSTEIN discharge petition over the 218-signature threshold.
@PunchbowlNews text subscribers got it first - duh
Sure. First you go away and sit in a corner and stop talking .
Shaheen: "All those people who oppose this agreement -- staying in a shutdown mode was not getting us anywhere. They need to train their fire on the people who are responsible. That's President Trump, Speaker Johnson, and the Republicans who have blocked every attempt to get healthcare. We need to be working together."
NARRATOR: They’re not going to work with her.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work with us."
If Senate gets done today shame on every Democratic Senator, all it takes is not providing unanimous consent.
Do not make this capitulation easy for them
House Republican leadership will bring the chamber back into session 36 hours after senate passage. So, if Senate gets done today, we’re probably looking at Wednesday return for the House.
House Republican leaders will want to do this bill under a rule, which means rule committee meeting, rule debate, rule vote.
Have to also imagine they’ll want a conference meeting after nearly two months out of session.

Ezra Klein: “If I were in the Senate, I wouldn’t vote for this compromise. Shutdowns are an opportunity to make your arguments, and the country was just starting to pay attention. If Trump wanted to cancel flights over Thanksgiving rather than keep health care costs down, I don’t see why Democrats should save him from making his priorities so exquisitely clear. And I worry that Democrats have just taught Trump that they will fold under pressure. That’s the kind of lesson he remembers.” nytimes.com/2025/11/10/opini…
The next meaningful fight in Congress will come after the midterms- IF we take back the House.
If I’m the House Dems, I expressly run against the Senate Dem caucus- saying you want to stop Trump? We are the way. Those guys are weak. We will be strong.
The government isn’t shutting down again.
No one will believe them.
Not Republicans.
Not us.
It’s over for the ACA subsidies.
Shut up you moron.
why would “health care” be more salient then than now? You just think people will remember what you want them to remember
