Episode notes
Shutdown Ends In Senate But ACA Fight Remains
- The Senate passed a bipartisan bill to end the 42-day shutdown, reaching the 60-vote threshold in the Senate.
- The deal omits an ACA subsidy extension, shifting the fight to the House where passage is uncertain.
House Vote Hinges On Few Republicans
- House passage is narrow and hinges on a tiny Republican margin once a new Democrat is sworn in.
- Leadership watches hardliners like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie who could sink the bill.
Reopening Is Not An Instant Fix
- Reopening won't instantly restore services: pay processing, flight schedules and SNAP distributions will take time.
- Economists estimate the shutdown could cost the economy $7–$14 billion.
