A handful of Senate Democrats on Sunday indicated they are ready to advance a package of bills that could end the government shutdown, multiple sources told Axios.

Why it matters: It is the most significant movement toward a bipartisan breakthrough in the talks to reopen the government in over a month.

• At least 10 Senate Democrats are expected to support a procedural motion to advance a package of spending bills and a short term funding measure through the end of January, multiple sources from both parties told Axios.
• 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.
• It could also include some kind of language to help federal workers who have been laid off under the shutdown.

Talks are fluid, and no deal is final until lawmakers have voted. But the discussions are progressing toward a deal that would end weeks of deadlock in the Senate.

The big picture: Senators are in Washington for a rare weekend session, and are on track to vote Sunday on a procedural motion on a government funding package.

• Lawmakers have been asked to return to Washington on Sunday if they left town.
• And the long-awaited text of the appropriations bills that lawmakers hope to include in the deal started to be released Sunday afternoon.

Damn, no mention of SNAP at all

I knew Chuck and Hakeem would cave. Pussies.

The whole reason for the shutdown was to protect the Obama Care subsidies.

 

[Elim Garak]

Wtf how would SNAP not be restored if the Government is reopened? That doesn't sound right to me.

Tell the people to stop voting for them then, we need to stop avoiding the biggest issue in the room.

If the Democrats gave cash payments ie., reparations for the enslavement of FBA/FREEDMAN in the USA, these Democrats would not be in the position of bowing down to the Republicans.

It's funny how these Democrats talk mad shyt with their full chest about what they are not going to do for FBAs but back down to everybody else....now look at these clowns:

 

[Elim Garak]

Wait these motherfukkers won't guarantee the subsidies and will just do a normal vote next month? Aoc get this motherfukker out the paint.

Watch the Republicans kill ACA subsidies and Trump will refuse to pay out SNAP benefits. If this deal is true, Trump will be even more brazen in punking Dems because the Democrats wont even get a guarantee that the ACA subsidies will continue. Just a promise to vote on it with a President who has been seizing funds that don't align with his bullshyt. Just when we get a win on Tuesday, these a$$holes throw the shyt away in an attempt to appear reasonable.

They actively fighting it on every front. I would not assume those payments begin again if the gov reopens.

Exactly.

There are "two" democrat parties, but only one is driving the ship.

SNAP would automatically be funded by the government once it reopens, it's already included in the bill, along with the program's new work requirements.

I agree with you, but I think unfortunately, while fighting to protect the healthcare subsidies is important, food is just as important, if not more so, by quite a large margin, since a functioning human being needs food to survive.

Food Banks and pantries only go so far, you can't allow millions of people to stress whether they're going to have food to eat or not, and with all the back and forth wishy-washy shyt with Trump/SNAP benefits lately makes it where you can't continue to let people suffer in Trump's hands.

Something has to give, and Trump and the GOP clearly have no intentions of budging, as they're adamant about letting this shyt go on for months if need be, so having the shutdown to continue into next year isn't feasible.

Once the government opens up, SNAP will be funded and people will no longer have to anxiously sit around wondering if they're going to eat or not. If this is real and it goes through, then the Dems made a moral decision to save people from starving, even tho it will hurt certain people's healthcare. Something had to be done to end the suffering millions are going through at the hands of Trump and his administration.

Yes, the base will be disappointed, but shouldn't be too hard on them either, because it was a moral decision, you didn't cave for a BS reason but a legitimate one.
