Day 10 of the fed govt shutdown. The Senate passed the NDAA last night and left town for the long weekend (back for votes Oct 14 -- day before missed military paychecks). The House has been out & will remain out it seems. But there will again be House R & D leadership pressers.

Senate R: ACA subsidies can pass Senate but needs well over 60 votes and buy-in from Trump + Speaker to become law
