Don't move one damn penny on what the left wants for their healthcare nonsense…
Quote:
The emerging plan is for the Senate to attach another short-term stopgap bill to a larger package of full-year bipartisan bills to fund a handful of federal agencies, according to those sources. There would also be an agreement for a date certain on a vote on extending the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies far short of the demand of many Democrats who want an extension in the underlying package that President Donald Trump would sign into law.
The fate of the talks, however, is still tenuous. There's not yet agreement on some of the biggest sticking points, including exactly how to handle Democrats' demand on those expiring health care subsidies when Speaker Mike Johnson has said he would not hold a separate vote in the House. Party leaders are also still divided over the end date for the next funding stopgap, with Johnson adamant that funding run through January while Senate Republicans are pushing for a pre-Christmas cliff.
Some Democrats have made clear they would be livid at any promise of a separate vote on health care that does not guarantee Trump signing anything into law.
"I think voters would rightly see it as a surrender," Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal said, adding that Tuesday's elections, as well as a flood of messages from constituents, have signaled to Democrats that Americans "are saying health care matters."

I read it differently…
I think they are trying to find certain portions that the Rs agree to fund…the Ds continue to balk because of healthcare…
As long as Rs don't give in on the healthcare piece or D pet projects already defunded by DOGE, this will be a win…

Traffic control shouldn't even be part of the budget. Should be part of essential services. I am imagine the nuclear missile silos are not being neglected. Put them in that category.

They are, but none of them are getting paid but are having to work

Open the government and then bring ACA to debate. If Thune caves, toss his ass.
FireAg said:
Sounds like the deal they were working on has fallen through…
Ds are standing firm on the ACA subsidies issue that their bull**** created in the first place…
I say **** it…go nuclear and reopen the government without the Ds…
Best move the Rs can make…
