I'm really shocked they didn't cave [within the first week or two]. I was nearly 100% certain they would.

I'll work on my Nostradamus more.

The deal would include a December vote on a Democratic proposal to extend ACA tax credits for one year, multiple sources said. It would take 60 votes to pass.

Funding the government through the end of January in exchange for a vote that won't pass...

The agreement is expected to include language that would, at a minimum, undo the federal layoffs that President Trump implemented during the shutdown.

...and a bunch of people who have probably found new jobs getting offered their old ones back

Democrat lawmakers are doing violemce against me.

Not their trash policies and capitulation that will almost certainly get me killed, but how spectacularly stupid they are. It's do stupid it hurts to read.
