  1. #Democrats had succeeded in drawing news coverage to #healthcare, & had even baited #Republicans into floating more of their toxic & radical ideas for changing the system.

    The likeliest way out of the impasse wasn’t that Republicans would make concessions on the #ACA, but rather that they would decide to end the #filibuster, changing #Senate rules to block minority parties from shutting down the govt. #Trump had demanded Republican senators do this….

  6. #Democrats are demanding an extension of tax credits for people purchasing #HealthInsurance on the individual market. That is an issue where they command massive public support.

    #Republicans were unlikely ever to give in on the tax credits, because their ideological opposition to universal #healthcare is so overwhelming that they would rather suffer defeat than surrender. But that is just the thing: They were taking the hit.

  11. Trump’s approval ratings have fallen sharply during the #shutdown. Indeed, #Trump himself attributed #Republicans’ surprisingly dismal performance in Tuesday’s #elections to the shutdown.

    What’s more, #Democrats’ goal during the shutdown was to draw more public attention to #healthcare, one of their strongest issues, & one where Republicans are engineering a social catastrophe.

  16. The likely reason is that #Trump has comported himself unlike any other president, flaunting his impunity in ways both important (refusing to fund programs authorized by #Congress) & visible (a unilateral demolition of the #EastWing). He hosted a decadent “Great Gatsby” Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago hours before millions of Americans lost #FoodStamps.

  21. Looks like Hochul decided to pull what Pelosi tried to pull with congressional stock reform. Take it. Gut it. Except Hochul pushed it through after she gutted it.

Always interesting when medics start calling these things out.
