US EditionJeffries, Democrats will offer 3-year extension of ObamaCare subsidies
- After a more than 40-day standoff, Democrats shut the federal government to secure an extension of health subsidies set to expire on Dec. 31 without Republican guarantees.
- During the record shutdown, Democratic leaders framed the fight as unified messaging on affordability and health insurance, while Progressive activists criticized the outcome as a 'cave.'
- A minibus of three appropriations bills included funding SNAP, the food assistance program, for the rest of the fiscal year and restored protections for federal workers, including reinstatements via RIFs and barring mass firings.

- Democrats believe it’s a good issue for their party and plan to use it to retake the House next year by pressuring vulnerable Republicans.
