Reporting I've seen said Shaheen and King were leading it, yeah.
"Deal" appears to be:
CR through January 30
Dems get to put an ACA bill up for a vote by/in December (which will obviously be voted down)
The shutdown RIFs are reversed and backpay guaranteed
SNAP funded through FY26
Which is like literally nothing. Like the entire shutdown accomplished absolutely nothing with this result except that I rather doubt the administration will faithfully follow the RIF language here so maybe people will have gotten screwed for nothing. Absolutely worthless cave.
there was never going to be any win and there never will be until after the midterms in the best case scenario. The GOP is fine with starvation. These arent even the republicans of 10 years ago and the republicans of 10 years ago were godawful people.
