"I am unwilling to accept a vague promise of a vote at some indeterminate time, on some undefined measure that extends the healthcare tax credits, Blumenthal said."
"The Senate might get a vote on the health insurance credits, Ben Ray Lujan, a New Mexico Democrat, said. I'll emphasize might.' But is Speaker Johnson gonna do anything? Is the president gonna do anything?"

Federal lawmakers moved toward a Senate vote to advance a House-passed stopgap funding bill aimed at reopening the federal government after a 40-day shutdown. Senate leaders plan a vote as early as Sunday night with an understanding the measure would be amended to combine a short-term funding measure with three full-year appropriations bills. The amended package would still require House passage and the president's signature, which could take days. Senate Democrats have resisted to pressure Republicans for healthcare fixes, including extending expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, and negotiations contemplate a separate later vote on those subsidies.
