      Welp time to watch chuck do what he does best: Cave at the worst possible time for absolutely no gain.

      I don’t know what proposal there is. They’ve already said to restore the cuts and pay people. The hell else proposal is there possible?

    4. WHSRWizard on

      My guess is that the proposal will be:

      – 2-year extension of enhanced ACA premium subsidies
      – Minibus funding for Agriculture-FDA, Military Construction-VA and Legislative Branch
      – Continuing resolution for the rest of government
      – Re-hire people who were RIFd during the shutdown

      Almost certainly dead on arrival in Senate, but even if it passed, it would never get passed by the House and signed by the President.

      Everybody here is like reverse wishcasting caving like they have been for weeks but having the entire Dem delegation there + Thune sounding pessimistic about the centrist Dems = seems a lot likelier to not be caving

      There were a few days leading up to the election that felt cave-y but literally nothing else before or since has suggested such

      Schumer is a lot of things but there is an advantage to having veteran politicians who’ve been here a long time

      When there’s leverage they leverage. It’s why he decided against the shutdown the first time this year. Would what’s happening now happen if they shutdown in March? Whether we like it or not. The elections will be used as the people decide how they feel about the ones in power

      The house would then have to vote on this again with the updated amendment no? Which would mean the Epstein files get released. Seems unlikely.

    11. Gonads_and_Strife_ on

      Not a fan of Schumer by any means, but this might actually be a good play.

      Let the ACA subsidies become a hot topic again just before the midterms next year.

      That being said, I doubt Trump will let his little play toys in the Senate move even an inch. This can’t be framed as anything but a win for democrats.

      Not enough. Need a guarantee that Trump can not take money away from programs Congress has allocated the funds to. Trump moves money in the government like he owns it.

      This seems like a win win win for democrats. They show they are being reasonable, and are able to negotiate, like they have asked from the beginning. They show that they want to govermwnt open, and put the pressure on the Republicans to say yes, amd if they dont it looks terrible for them, and it makes Healthcare an issue for midterm elections

    15. Silver-Bread4668 on

      Interesting responses in this thread. Idealists („this isn’t enough“) and strategists („this will make it a hot topic during mid terms“).

      I kindof agree with both.

    17. bearybear90 on

      What would be the end date on the CR? I’d imagine it’s not the same one as the house passed previously

    18. lawhoo_ on

      Fuck “being reasonable” by the Dems. They’ve never had an advantage they didn’t want to immediately piss away.

      We are dealing with demagogues who think they are on a mission from God in their depravity and destruction of American democracy. The Dems need to press any advantage they get.

    19. WHSRWizard on

      Mark Kelly was one of the senators who was potentially going to cave. Probably notable that he is on the floor talking now.

    21. SpottedDicknCustard on

      Funding ACA subsidies for one year wouldnt be ideal but it would instantly make another CR extension a central issue in the midterms which wouldn’t be a bad thing for Democrats.

    22. lawhoo_ on

      I cannot believe these old guard Dem fuckwads still bring up terms like “bipartisanship.” Look at the other side and what they’ve done since January! Are you fucking kidding me?

    24. Gonads_and_Strife_ on

      My expectations after this session:

      Behind closed doors, republicans want to take this deal. Thune starts to set things in motion to move forward with this peoposal.

      Trump catches wind, goes on Truth Social, and says something crazy hoping to torpedo this deal. He doesn’t want a deal. He doesn’t want compromise. He can’t accept budging even a little bit.

      Trump wants to push this until the Senate gets rid of the filibuster so he can pass as much voter restriction legislation as possible before the midterms. All he cares about is keeping the republicans in power in the house and senate. The election results past Tuesday shook him up, and the economy is looking unstable as it’s been since 2008. He’s starting to understand that his mandate was always a mirage, and he’s starting to panic.

    26. nattakunt on

      Can someone explain why some Senate Dems are willing to negotiate on a promise instead of a guarantee? We need to primary the hell out of the ones that are stupid enough to fall for this.

    27. TheIntrepid1 on

      I guess the Republicans are rejecting it so far.

      They are probably staying over this weekend, so maybe before Monday they’ll get something agreed
