Let's end 25 years of Turn TX Blue campaigns lost by GOP lite democrats who adopt some progressive positions to win their primaries. Let's change losing with fake progressives

Rather than rant about caving to GOP in shutdown deal, democrats need to double down on open, swing, & dummymandered districts in 2026

Trump signals no shutdown compromise with Democrats as senators schedule rare weekend session
Promise of compromise on ACA after passing GOP's CR is meaningless with Trump demanding no compromise

RIF language 1
RIF language 2
RIF language 3
The only exception to that is with respect to reductions in force (RIFs). The bill appears to both roll back RIFs announced during the shutdown and prevent any further RIFs between now and Jan 30.
I see nothing in here that would require the White House to actually spend any available funds, prevent rescissions or withholding of payments, or do anything to change what has become an unsettling status quo in this calendar year.
