Quote: MAJOR BREAKING: A deal has been reached to END the Schumer Shutdown, with at least EIGHT Democrat Senators breaking from their party

Democrats will receive ZERO dollars for illegals nor Obamacare subsidies

Reports state no real concessions were made by Republicans other than a handshake deal to hold a vote on Obamacare subsidies in December, which is VERY unlikely to pass.

This CR will fund the government through January 30, and is expected to pass tonight. The House will then have to vote to pass it as well.

Wow, if that happens, that is a MAJOR blow to Dems. Or, at least it should be.

What exactly were the Dems really trying to accomplish? Surely they realized that ridiculous $1.5T proposal wasn't going to fly.

Quote:Republicans unveil key piece of shutdown puzzle in bid to reopen government
Senate Republicans unveil three-bill minibus in bid to reopen the government

Veterans, military families impacted as SNAP aid halted in shutdown
Senate Republicans unveiled a crucial piece of the puzzle in their bid to reopen the government and plan to plow ahead with a vote on Sunday.

While both sides still appear at an impasse on extending expiring Obamacare subsidies, appropriators moved ahead with a package of spending bills that Republicans hope will jumpstart the government funding process, and lead to an end to the 40-day government shutdown.

The Senate Appropriations Committee released the three-bill spending package, known as a minibus, Sunday afternoon. Lawmakers are still waiting on text for an updated continuing resolution (CR), that, if passed, is expected to reopen the government until late January.

It includes legislation that would fund military construction and the VA, the legislative branch and agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration.

Senate Republicans view the package as a sweetener that they hope attracts enough Senate Democrats to break through the logjam and move toward reopening the government. And given that the minibus is a largely bipartisan product, lawmakers believe it could succeed.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., made clear in the last few days that he would not put a bill on the floor that did not have the votes to pass after spending several weeks daring Senate Democrats to vote against the original House-passed continuing resolution (CR).

"There’s going to be something to vote on, let’s put it that way," Thune said.

Still, the package does not include a deal on Senate Democrats’ chief demand throughout the government shutdown to extend expiring Obamacare subsidies.

Thune has promised Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus a vote on the expiring subsidies after the government reopens. And for several weeks, Senate Democrats said that was not enough to assuage the concerns.

Senate Democrats are expected to huddle Saturday night before a likely vote to plot a path forward. If Schumer and his caucus agree to the deal, they would effectively be caving from their deeply-entrenched position that has seen the government shutdown stretch over a month.

Lawmakers will now have time to read over the bills, with a vote expected later Sunday evening.

But, it’s just the first step in what could be a long and drawn-out process. First, Thune will tee up the original House-passed CR for a vote, which lawmakers view as the vehicle to attach the minibus and updated CR to.

Then there will be two more votes before the package advances from the Senate. Then, it will have to go back to the House before making its way to President Donald Trump’s desk.

Schumer and his caucus could still apply pain on the process, too, through procedural hurdles. And despite rumblings of some in the caucus ready to break ranks, some Republicans aren’t too optimistic that this will be an easy process.

"I don't expect anything from the Democrats," Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said. "At this point, their demands have been so ridiculous, I don't know what they're going to do, and at this point, I frankly, don't give a crap."

BREAKING: Senate Dems finally agree to terms to end government shutdown

Quote:Senate Democrats have reached an agreement with Republicans to reopen the federal government. A vote is expected later on Sunday night to advance the House-passed continuing budget resolution.

There are enough Democratic senators who will vote alongside Republicans to push forward a stopgap measure extending government funding through the end of January, tied to a larger package to fully fund several key agencies, Politico reports.

On Sunday, the Senate finalized a three-bill package of funding for veterans programs, food aid, and certain government agencies. The bills were part of a tentative agreement that had been discussed by senators of both parties for weeks.

A previous report by CNN revealed that the package would allocate $203.5 million in new funding to bolster security and protection for members of Congress, as well as $852 million for the Capitol Police, according to details described by top Democratic appropriator Senator Patty Murray.

The agreement is not expected to include an extension of the expiring enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which was a key demand among Democrats. However, Republicans would guarantee a vote in the Senate on the issue at a later time.

Democrats reportedly acknowledged that President Donald Trump’s strong opposition to extending the subsidies makes a bipartisan agreement on that issue unlikely, leading some to accept a standalone vote as a compromise to resolve the shutdown.

After being passed by the Senate, the revised measure will return to the House for final approval before heading to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law, officially ending the government shutdown.

A previous report by Politico found that House Democratic leadership has known about the deal and is deeply unhappy with it. “We’re very aware that eventually House Democrats are just going to get rolled,” a source close to senior House Democrats told the outlet.

Temu Obama - House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries - announces he will do everything possible to BLOCK spending bill that will reopen the federal government, even though it has enough Democrat support to pass the Senate.

Why does he want hurting Americans to continue suffering with an ongoing shutdown?

Quote:BREAKING: It's been CONFIRMED a deal has been reached to reopen the government, a huge win for President Trump.

Democrat VA Sen. TIM KAINE just publicly came out in support of the bill. Enough Dems support it to pass. https://x.com/i/status/1987674680895865329/video/1

No ACA subsidies, no funds for illegals, no protections against more recission cuts.

- Pass the Senate
- Pass the House
- Onto Trump's desk

Time to END THIS PAIN AND SUFFERING! ??

Schumer and Jeffries are just circus clowns at this point.

Trump, it appears, out maneuvered the Dems.

The GOP unity on this is a new experience.

I think that's it. Who was the last president of either party who had this much influence? I'm not sure, and I can personally recall all the way back to Truman.

My guess would be FDR, but he died not long before I was born. Maybe JFK could have been, if he had lived out his 8 years in office, who knows? Maybe Reagan?

The only consensus great ones are Washington and Lincoln. I'm not claiming that Trump is great, but he sure as hell has a lot of influence and gets a lot done.

I have a feeling the Pubs are in for a reality check, with Trump never on the ballot again.

The HSA part needs to be passed immediately after this... along with additional changes to the ACA.

Shutdown won their blue state elections. That's what this was designed to do.

Anything else they got would be gravy

Absolutely massive win for Trump. Dems are going to get taken to the cleaners in the mid-terms. Can't wait

Disagree. Those blue candidates were going to win in those places, anyway. I do wonder what they thought they were accomplishing with the shutdown.

I don't believe for a second it was to get blues elected in blue dominated places.

Quote:BREAKING: Eight Democratic senators have voted YES on the procedural vote for the continuing resolution, securing the 60-vote supermajority needed to break the filibuster and advance efforts to end the government shutdown.

Democrat YES Votes:
Sen. Dick Durbin (IL)
Sen. Maggie Hassan (NH)
Sen. Tim Kaine (VA)
Sen. Angus King (I-ME)
Sen. Cortez Masto (NV)
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (NH)

I think LBJ had that kind of influence for about 3 years after he became President— the midterms of 1966 put an end to that.

Exactly. They motivated their base. Now they are allowing a few purple/light blue state Democrats to vote for it.

Ronald Reagan. He got things done even with 260-270 Democrats in the House and sometimes a Democratic Senate majority.
