Who is it who wants a change from the previous year's budget/laws?

skinned hates math and he blames it on memes lmfao

95% of Republicans voted to keep the government open and running.

95% of Democrats voted to shut the government down.

Initial reports are that the senate is going to vote on kicking the can down the road until February 8th.
I'd like to take credit for being one of the 7 correct votes.

so who exactly caved to what as part of this deal?
the reports are that McConnell is offering to table the immigration bill and if that falls through, that he'll take up a separate bill
But its not very specific on what the agreement is.

If its an agreement that they'll just keep negotiating on both bills and haven't made any promises beyond the immigration bill vote, then the democrats folded
If the agreement is that the senate will be guaranteed to vote on the DACA bill in isolation if the immigration bill falls through, then the republicans folded- because then the republicans gave up their demands and leverage, and the democrats would need only to scuttle the immigration bill they didn't want anyway and be get the vote on DACA that has enough republican support to pass.
/e of course even if they did force the senate to take up the DACA bill in isolation, the house could reject it, and mcconnell can't promise it getting tabled in the house. I think that's what they went with

Based on this, erm, interpretation alone, I think its the democrats who blinked;

Kicking the can down the road is the default Washington position.

Breaking: govt shutdown ending

CHIP gets 6 years. Government reopens, no other concessions except McConnell promises to look at immigration(DACA). He has 3 weeks to come to a deal or it'll close again. But at least the children are fine for 6 more years. Can't use soldiers or children for the narrative anymore.
