The deal to end the shutdown. Imo the Dems caved, getting very little in exchange.

The difference between the two, of course, was that at the time they thought Neville had really done it, and I can’t even fathom even Schumer thinking he’s done a great thing.

Schumer is still opposed to ending the shutdown to my knowledge.

What in the… Yeah you’re right. I thought I had heard he was working on a deal and I’m so used to disappointment from him. The eight Dems are:
- Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
- Dick Durbin of Illinois
- John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
- Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
- Tim Kaine of Virginia
- Angus King of Maine
- Jacky Rosen of Nevada
- Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire

Several US Senators of the Democratic Party have expressed intent to end the current government shutdown without gaining the concessions the rest of the party has been demanding. Unfortunately, they’re numerous enough (8) that they may be able to force the issue.
