NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.
Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

Does he think that individuals have the ability to negotiate with insurance companies?
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Nobody really uses $1 coins if they can avoid it.
The only thing they really get used for is coin flips.
So yeah, of course Trump wants a two-headed coin. Technically it would have a value but it’d be functionally useless.

It’s important to understand that this increase is a choice that is being made by people who have never and will never have to pay for their own health insurance in any meaningful way.

Either you’re complicit in those “yes” votes (likely, Durbin does nothing without your nod) or you’ve lost control of your caucus.
Either way it means you don’t deserve to be considered a leader. You cannot lead.
Resign. It is the only option.

The problem is that we all assumed there would be an opposition party.
But we no longer have a two-party system. We have one party and a faction of that party that occasionally disagrees with their dear leader.

Either this happened with his blessing despite him offering a compromise yesterday. Or this happened without him, showing that he has no control.

By getting absolutely nothing but a promise of “a vote” sometime in December the Democratic Party has allowed the GOP to say that the Dems shut down the government for nothing.
Because that’s what happened.
The Dems have squandered every moment of leverage they’ve had this year.
I’m done.

Whatever else is in the deal, agreeing to merely have a vote on ACA is a fig leaf. Even if it passes the Senate, it won't in the House, which also makes it an easy yes vote for the Senate Rs who might want to, defusing it as an attack on them.
It is a stupid ask even on Team Schumer's own terms.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.
