- (Politico) Republicans already drafting plans for extending health care and are willing to implement them as soon as Democrats stop holding the US Government hostage.

Why did Democrats shutdown the US government? In 2021 they passed emergency corporate subsidies for COVID, and decided they would expire on Jan 1, 2026. But now, this makes them angry that these corporate subsidies are expiring as planned, and so they are shutting down the government.
