Today, the Senate voted to start reopening the government.

We took a big step forward to protect the health care of tens of millions of Americans in exchange for funding through January 31st.

With the government reopened, we must move quickly to deliver on that promise and to keep health care premiums affordable.

This was the only deal on the table.

It was our best chance to reopen the government and immediately begin negotiations to extend the ACA tax credits that tens of millions of Americans rely on to keep costs down.

Thank you all.

I don't understand what these people in Washington think they're doing representing the people who they claim to represent.

Shane, happy Sunday.

Yeah, it's actually a question that I was down in Washington, D.C. this week asking Democratic lawmakers and Democratic officials even before this shutdown fight exploded. And the question I was asking is whether the Democratic Party is facing its own Tea Party moment.

For years and years, it's been the Republican voters who have been angry, and they've been angry at their own party, and they've been angry at the Democratic Party. And for the first time in many years, Democrats are describing that same kind of anger.

They're saying that at their town halls, even in deep blue districts, voters are coming up upset and angry and wanting more, more fight, more action, more something. And the parallel... is really the first year of Barack Obama's first term.

So Barack Obama wins... And the Democrats have then, just as the Republicans do now, complete control of the federal government.
