Trump Administration Live Updates: Senate Moves to Vote as Democratic Defectors Relent on Shutdown
(schumer wasn’t the defector this time)
what we got:
a provision that would call federal workers who were laid off during the shutdown back to their jobs. It also would provide funds to ensure that federal workers who were furloughed during the shutdown can receive retroactive pay [(the latter as required by a 2019 law defector Angus King passed)].
The short-term spending bill would additionally bar the Office of Management and Budget from implementing any additional mass layoffs of federal workers through Jan. 30.
what we did not:
healthcare
Schumer negotiated the whole deal. They plan it so they can “vote their conscience” to look good for their record as long as they know it’ll go the way they want it to.
