Note that the Dems had a promise to hold a vote on the ACA extension in hand before they shut down the government, and the only thing theyβre getting in return for finally taking that promise is the re-hiring of all of the staff that got laid off during the shutdown so weβre just at the status quo
This is a complete route, this entire exercise was pointless and Democrats caused a massive delay in SNAP benefits as well as massive travel headaches and any other number of major inconveniences to a huge swath of the American electorate for literally nothing
This is officially the deal, per source familiar. Led by King, Shaheen, Hassan
-CR through Jan 30
-A vote on ACA bill of Dem choosing in December
- Minibus
-Reversal of shutdown RIFs w/ back pay
-SNAP funded through FY26
