And yet, no one would put it past Schumer and 9 other Democratic Senators to cave.
The old guard of the Democratic Party is comprised of spineless corporatists who are not much different from moderate Republicans.
They hate progressives and actively stymie them.

Hopefully it’s bunk, because if Senate Dems cave for a pinky promise of a vote that’s DOA in the House then the whole shutdown was pointless and they should have just passed the GOP CR to begin with.
Which would be completely moronic, but also completely on-brand for Senate Democrats.

I just think it might be bs because I keep hearing conflicting reports about whether leadership wants this or whether they plan to let the rank-and-file take the fall.

Please write to/ call your representatives and tell them not to cave!

I’m not sure I understand why they would cave only for a planned vote on extending the ACA subsidies in December rather than actual text in the bill. The reason they’re in this position now is because Republicans reneged on certain promises, and there’s no reason to believe Republicans wouldn’t just vote down the ACA subsidy extension when it came time in December.
They would have held out for 40 days for nothing more than a promise, like many of the others that have already been broken.

I just left vm for both of my senators, strongly worded, letting them know I have heard these rumors and urging them to not cave. No matter how you feel about what may or may not be happening, lighting up the phones lets them know we’re engaged

Very timely, OP, I just saw a snippet of that article. Hate how it seems more leftist aligned papers have a pay wall that *may* come at a greater cost to your privacy or your wallet as opposed to right aligned papers.
