This is the new Republican "unified stance" on the shutdown, the result of pressure from Trump.
"If Dems sign our poison pill bill, we'll BE FUCKIN' DELIGHTED to sit down and fix those pesky little ObamaCare credits."

Democrats arent buying that, especially as open enrollment signup and the sticker shock expected to hit tens of millions of Americans starts Nov. 1.
