It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details

Current likely Democratic votes for this:

  • Shaheen - NH
  • Hassan - NH
  • King - ME
  • Fetterman - PA
  • Peters - MI
  • Durbin - IL
  • Warner - VA
  • Kaine - VA
  • Ossoff- GA
  • Warnock - GA

If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.

Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.

The list:

  • Durbin
  • Hassan
  • King
  • Cortez Masto
  • Kaine
  • Shaheen
  • Rosen
  • Fetterman
  • Schumer
  • Gillibrand

There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public

    These spineless Democrats do not need to cave. The GOP can end the shutdown anytime they want.

      Moderate Democrats know the filibuster is a powerful tool for stopping progressive legislation, and if Republicans nuke it to end the shutdown, they have one less excuse.

        The GOP can remove the filibuster and the DNC can put it back in the second they’re back in power. It has no value to the DNC right now if they cave.

          Or rather, a Democratic majority Congress could USE that power to fix some things, and then shelve it.

          Would they actually do that? X•doubt

          🤣 This would be such a DNC thing to do.

          Republicans remove the filibuster and ram through a bunch of vile shit.

          People revolt and vote in Democrats.

          Democrats, citing the need for decorum and bi-partisanship put back the filibuster.

          Republicans block any progress on anything useful.

          People are mad and vote in Republicans.

          And round and round we go…

      People are acting like it’s total capitulation. It’s not. Per NYT :

      The spending package would, however, reject some of Mr. Trump’s spending proposals. While he has moved to eliminate the Food for Peace program, which sends surplus American crops to communities around the world that are experiencing famine and starvation, the bill would provide $1.2 billion for the program, which many Republicans hailing from farm states have championed.

        It’s absolutely 1000% unacceptable unless the Republicans get nothing they’ve tried to extort and make some additional concessions on top of it. That’s what a compromise is, not letting the fucking thieves and saboteurs get away with half their goddamn crimes!
