That's an amazing thing.

Saying, I'm not going to fund the government so I can get more funding for the government is a pretty insane proposition.

And that's what Democrats were doing here.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen, she said, with the government reopened, it's time to move quickly to ensure we keep healthcare premiums from skyrocketing.

Senator Tim Kaine, similar statement, the legislation will protect federal workers from baseless firings, reinstate those who have been wrongfully terminated during the shutdown, and ensure federal workers receive back pay.

Now, again, as I say, Democrats are very, very upset.

Many Democrats are really upset.

So Democrats are trying to pretend there's no crack within the coalition.

Senator Adam Schiff, one of the worst senators in the United States Senate from California, just this Sunday, he was saying there are no cracks in the Democratic coalition.

Well, I noticed a few.

They're dragging him down.

This is week T, because as you can see, Democrats are very, very, very upset.

Immediately upon the announcement that enough Democrats had voted to end the shutdown, that the shutdown will in fact come to an end, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has her eye on 2028, put out a statement.

The average monthly SNAP benefit is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit is up to $550 a person per month.

By the way, we should note at this point that that's actually a fair bit of money.

I mean, you're talking about 42 million Americans who are on SNAP.

And you are talking about tens of millions of Americans who are on ACA.

So when you're talking about increasing the federal debt and the deficit, this would be your giant driver right here.

People want us to hold the line for a reason, says AOC.
