EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Jacky Rosen votes YES to advance this funding deal. Dem flip; she voted against the previous 14 motions on the CR.
Durbin is a YES on this deal: “At Democrats’ urging, today’s bill is not the same one we’ve voted down 14 times. Republicans finally woke up and realized their Groundhog Day needed to end. This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their shutdown’s hurt.”
America is in a fight for its very survival. And the leaders of the Democratic Party in the US Senate are just not up to the challenge. Time to turn the page on them. With prejudice.
No health care, no deal.
I’m no great fan of the ACA.
I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.
But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

As Democrats get their votes lined up and talking points ready, it’s important to remember they’re working together to lessen the fallout from their angry base.
In March (see below), Schumer voted to advance the bill but didn’t *technically* vote for final passage.
It’s dishonest bullshit.

"But Schumer and seven other Democrats who voted to advance the bill earlier Friday voted against passing it."
"Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire) was the only Democrat who voted for the bill. King also voted for it. Sen. Rand Paul (Kentucky) was the only Republican who voted against it."

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts sits on the board of the State Leadership Initiative (SLI), which was co-founded by Nate Fischer & Noah Wall. Alex Acosta (of Epstein plea deal infamy) is the chairman. WTF? 1/

Trump has pleased his sex predator friend Ghislaine Maxwell by moving her to a nicer prison. “The food is legions better,” she wrote. “… I am much much happier here.”
Ghislaine Maxwell's prison emails show she is 'happier' at minimum-security Texas facility
Maxwell, a convicted sex offender connected to Jeffrey Epstein, was moved to a less restrictive federal prison this summer. Congress is investigating allegations of special treatment.

Any politician who votes to give more of our tax money to the grifters who have already gotten too much deserves to be primaried into the sun
“OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies.” After losing more than $13 billion this year, OpenAI officials are angling for a bailout. From @ryanlcooper.com:
