Democrats Fume as Shutdown-Ending Deal Clears Senate, Former Virginia Lawmaker Who Interrupted Trump Convicted of Fraud, and a Dulles "People Mover" Crashed - Washingtonian

"Shutshow: The US Senate passed a measure last night that could end the 42-day-long government shutdown. Seven Democrats and one independent joined Republicans to put the deal over the finish line. One GOP senator, Rand Paul of Kentucky, voted no. President Trump is likely to sign the bill once it gets through the House of Representatives, which will return to work tomorrow. ( Washington Post) Even with Trump's support, it'll be a big lift to muscle any deal through the House."

"Good morning. Happy Veterans Day, and if you serve, have served, or are family to someone who has served our country, thank you. Cold and breezy today with a high around just 46. A low near 34 overnight. The Capitals are at Carolina this evening. You can find me on Bluesky, I'm @abeaujon.87 on Signal, and there's a link to my email address below.

Senate passed a measure that could end the 42-day government shutdown after seven Democrats and one independent joined Republicans; Rand Paul opposed the deal. President Trump is likely to sign the bill after House consideration when the House returns to work, though passage there will be difficult. Senator Tim Kaine conditioned his vote on a "moratorium on mischief" against Trump's cuts and RIFs. Trump's pressure tactics included cutting SNAP food aid. Many Democrats are angry because the deal does not extend Obamacare subsidies and some demanded Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's removal after previously blocking a September reopening deal.
