Senators Advance Deal; Markets Rally

Global stocks rallied after U.S. senators advanced a measure to end the government shutdown, prompting a relief-driven jump in equities and a rise in Treasury yields worldwide.
I’m not a conspiracy person but it is an odd combination of Democratic Senators caving: mainly people retiring or not up for re-election until 2028. Moreover, Democratic leadership seems to accept them breaking rank without any consequences or even serious critique… 🙄

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Senator King admits their strategy "may not succeed. I grant that. A reasonable chance. 10, 20 percent, 30 percent, is a lot better than zero percent which is where we were yesterday"

Do NOT assume vote in Senate yesterday means shutdown is over.
Even Sen. King puts odds at 10% that it'll get done.
Vote yesterday was just PROCEDURAL to move to next stage.
No guarantee Senate will approve.
And House may not approve; Johnson says they won't.
And Trump wants to end ACA subsidies.

Upset about the government shutdown at any of its various stages, including how it might end? Consider @roberttalisse.bsky.social's take: The fault, dear voter, lies in ourselves and not the politicians theconversation.com/blame-the-sh...
Blame the shutdown on citizens who prefer politicians to vanquish their opponents rather than to work for the common good
Politicians get blamed for government shutdowns. But does the fault lie also with citizens, who are more invested in punishing partisan rivals than in demanding competent government?

I think that these 8 Senators are falling on the sword for Schumer and other Senators who wanted the shutdown to end. This allows the majority of Senators to save face; and only retiring or not up for reelection Senators take the heat.
It’s a ruse.

The shutdown didn't achieve anything. We were not particularly close to ending the filibuster or funding ACA subsidies, just a longer shutdown. But instigating parties don't usually learn from failure because the argument is always that you could have fought harder & longer.

🚨 The shutdown isn’t over. The Senate vote was a procedural step, not a deal. Nothing is reopening. Nothing is fixed. Eight Democrats helped move an old GOP bill while families go unpaid and SNAP stays frozen.
