"The Senate's majority leader, Republican John Thune, said today that he has told congressional Democrats that he can guarantee a scheduled vote on extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) Subsidies. I can't guarantee it's going to pass. I can guarantee you that there will be a process and you will get a vote, he said in an interview with MSNBC earlier."
"Also on the table, Thune is planning to bring a full-year appropriations bill to fund the Pentagon through 2026 to the Senate floor today. If we're sitting around here voting every day and they keep voting to keep the government shut down, we need to be trying to move the needle on some of the other stuff that we need to get done, Thune told The Hill in an interview on Wednesday."
"To catch you up on other developments: Americans say their monthly costs have risen by between $100 and $749, according to an exclusive new poll conducted for the Guardian. When asked to estimate how much their regular monthly household costs have increased from last year, 74% of those surveyed said they had seen increases of at least $100, according to the poll."
Donald Trump is at the White House and is scheduled to receive his intelligence briefing at 11am ET, with an Oval Office announcement planned for 3pm ET. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told Democrats he can guarantee a scheduled vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, while acknowledging he cannot guarantee passage. Democrats say they will not advance a House-passed short-term funding measure without negotiation on several healthcare provisions; that measure faces a tenth Senate vote at 11am. Thune plans to bring a full-year appropriations bill to fund the Pentagon through 2026 to the Senate floor. A Guardian poll found Americans report monthly cost increases between $100 and $749, with 74% seeing increases of at least $100.
