The bill — which still needs to formally pass the Senate and House — would fund the government until late January, ending the longest shutdown in modern history, and it would roll back federal layoffs imposed during the shutdown and advance a handful of bills to fund parts of the government for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends on Sept. 30, 2026.
In exchange, Republicans have promised to hold a vote by next month on extending a set of enhanced health insurance tax credits that were passed during the Biden administration and are set to expire this year. Without an extension, many Americans who buy insurance on Affordable Care Act exchanges could face significantly higher premiums.
Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats, called the deal a “disaster” since there’s no guarantee that the expiring health insurance subsidies will be extended. The senator was unimpressed by the promise to hold a vote.
Does he tell you to vote for them in primaries?
If they run again, Yes
I’m not sure you know what a primary is.
No, Bernie is not in favor of supporting every Democratic incumbent against primary challengers. That would be insane which is, of course, why the DCCC does claim that exact position. (Though even they conveniently forget it when a progressive gets challenged.)
A primary is where all of the politicans for one party get together, and pretend that they will fight for what the voters want. It’s the same thing as a General Election, except it is specific to the party, and the winner of that election goes on to the General. I never said that I thought he would be in favor of supporting every incumbant.
I always find it telling that Dems will tell me that I’m wrong, and that I don’t know what I’m talking about, but sure enough end up not knowing what I said.
