The NPR Politics Podcast · Another government shutdown looms -- what you need to know · 30 Jan 2026 podcast

She was one of these five who broke with her party last fall to reopen the government.

But this time she said she was willing to risk a shutdown over ICE tactics.

So Democrats here think the public is on their side and that this moment is really spurring anger and passion on both sides of the aisle and that this maybe strikes at something more fundamental about the direction of the country in a way that the health subsidies debate did not.

But, Tam, I think you're right that this could all amount to nothing at the end because we have seen time and time again where there's these glimmers of bipartisan talks and maybe there's something that everyone can get together and pass into law and then it doesn't happen in the end.

Yeah.

So like we've been saying, the House still needs to sign off on this plan to split DHS funding from everything else.

And the House is not in until next week.

So that's kind of what's causing this potential for at least a short shutdown.

Now, House Speaker Mike Johnson has said the House will do its job.

They will get this done.

But, you know, that is still not a totally settled question, especially with these narrow margins.

And then, of course, there's this bigger task that Jimena has been talking about, about looking at reforms and could additional asks from different members be inserted into this process and gum up the works here.

And so there are a lot of unknowns headed into next week.

And I think this is something that makes this fight potentially different from the fight last fall over the health subsidies.

Democrats were constantly asking President Trump to weigh in, to get involved in cutting a deal to extend the subsidies.

And that never happened.

Yeah.

And as Jimena, I think, nodded at earlier, what else happens in the next two weeks?

Just in the last couple of months, we've seen so many quick news cycles from talking every day about health subsidies to talking every day about Venezuela to talking about Greenland to now we're talking about immigration.

But is that going to stay the case for the next two weeks or is some other issue going to pop up on the national radar?
