      Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) will say Friday that Democrats would vote to end the shutdown in exchange for a one-year extension of expiring Obamacare tax credits, multiple sources told Axios.

      Feels like they should ask for more but I’m not the one negotiating with fascists

    3. He wants the gOP to run against healthcare in the 2026 elections. If the republicans were smart, they’d insist on a 2 year extension and take the issue off the table for the midterms.

    4. Ah, so he took a page out of the Republican playbook so they can run on the subsidy issue during the Midterms and it will surely come back up during the ’28 race

    5. Former-Counter-9588 on

      He only said 1 year because he expects Dems to win back the house next year and maybe gain in the senate.

      It’s foolish. It should be a 10 year extension. Maybe even a 5 year extension at minimum.

      Enough playing politics. If it’s about the people, the offer would be more serious and long term.

      As long as they are extended as part of the agreement (not a bullshit promise to vote on it after) this is fine.

      If they want to kick the can let them. Either they’ll get destroyed over the same issue again in a year or Democrats will be in control to pass them permanently or address the core issue (cost).

    7. I’m confused by the article and the comments here.

      That has always been what the dems were asking for. There has been no change

    8. I don’t understand. Isn’t the damage from subsidies lapsing already done? Rates have already skyrocketed. What would a year fix. I’m legitimately asking someone to explain this to me.

    9. MadScientist3087 on

      Any chance Dems knew it would be immediately rejected and floated it just to further make GOP look bad for not coming to the table?

    10. You mean the offer that Republicans are already rejecting? Could it be they knew that would happen and are continuing to let the country see it is Republicans who are refusing to even work together to do this?

    11. Responsible-Corgi-61 on

      Trump has already taken so many L’s that i doubt his narcissistic ego can handle any more turns against him; I predict that he will DIG IN and make this shut down as long and painful as possible to attempt to get his way. This shut down will be continue until Republicans fully break with him and make a deal with Dems.

      This would punt the fight to right before next years election. Progressive candidates should seize the opportunity

    13. Zealousideal_Bet9354 on

      Smart move. Democrats have proven to win when healthcare is on the ballot, and this one year extension will make it so.

      What a weird way to title the article. Why is all of the media MAGA cucks 😭

    16. Man, I sure wish we had a President that had read The Art of The Deal. Maybe then they could step in and help resolve this thing.

    17. EyeDrops4Cyclops on

      Why the fuck is this framed in a way that suggests democrats are “charging” the republicans a “price”? I will never understand how fucking basic decency and making sure people don’t have to choose between death and being enslaved to medical debt is a “price” that someone has to pay.

    18. They should have gone back and said, sorry 1-year extension is off the table and increase the duration now that republicans took the L last week.

    19. SpongEWorTHiebOb on

      Democrats thinking small once again. A one year extension is a pretty low ask.

    20. ExtensionIcy2104 on

      Should add we will re open the government with the full release of the epstein files…. then get the republicans to impeach trump and his entire cabinet arrested and then make the country normal again

    21. Puppygirlviolence on

      does this “ending the shutdown” imply them voting on the thing that ends trans healthcare?

    22. caseyjosephine on

      Title should be Republicans double down on helping Americans starve to prove they don’t care if they die.

    23. PrincesStarButterfly on

      At this point accepting a one year extension is ridiculous because then We The People will have to face yet another Trump Shut Down in a year. We’ve already made it this far. Don’t fold!

    24. Why is it the Dems shutting it down? Exhausted with this messaging.

      They’re the *MINORITY* party and don’t have the votes to open it, aren’t filibustering, and can’t even call a session. The majority party could pass a vote today to reopen and even remove healthcare (which is what they’re asking for!), they just know it’s so unpopular they want Dems to vote to do it.

    25. And the repubs said no because they are doing what their dear leader tells them to. Now the repubs own the shutdown

    26. DanTheMan827 on

      The real question is will the republicans negotiate, or will they use the nuclear option?

    27. Watch the Republicans agree and then take all the credit for the 2026 tax credits.

    28. If the republicans wanted to win so bad, why not just say that the democrats wanted a two year plus extension and they talked them down to 1 year. Oh wait it’s because that is more money for them to grift or use for the personal army…

    29. Gungho-Guns on

      Should be 3 things:

      1.) No recisions

      2.) Extend the ACA

      3.) Restore Medicare/Medicaid funding

    30. No matter how low Schumer sets the bar, Republicans have been pretty clear that they’re not going to be happy unless an American loses healthcare.

    31. Flat-Emergency4891 on

      And pass real comprehensive healthcare in 2026 after they whoop the Republicans in the midterms. I’m down with that. They also need to swear in that one lady who holds the vote on releasing the Epstein files, so win win.

    32. seanightowl on

      I’m getting to the point where I believe that they don’t want to open the govt and never intend to. Maybe due to the Epstein files, or trump can profit more off a closed govt, or some other reason.

    33. Hasn’t their price already been named from the literal beginning? Or is that just a terrible title?

    34. ProfessionalJesuit on

      Why snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Republicans shut down their own government. Let them burn and maybe the Maga fever dream will break…

    35. fuck this bullshit headline, the democrats don’t own this shutdown. it’s “republicans potentially open to budging on shutdown”

    36. The shutdown has already cost more than that so…like let’s just do it like yesterday

    37. caravan_for_me_ma on

      What kind of bullshit Axios Trump-sucking framing is this headline?

    38. Emperor_NOPEolean on

      This has been the deal the entire time. Dems are hardly coming up with this a month in.

    39. Safe_Psychology_326 on

      This fking media, it’s not a name their price. It’s literally saving Americans healthcare

    40. ShweatyPalmsh on

      As much as I hate Chuck this was a magnificent play. It times this right as the midterms hit and republicans have to either agree to the terms now and allow a perceived dem win or decline it and still look like they’re the ones who want a shut down. Republicans have cornered themselves for no good reason.

    41. HonorboundUlfsark on

      The more the shutdown lasts the better chances republicans lose everything
