Subject: Re: AFGE union calls shutdown end
Question asked previously, is Schumer "fighting" for the small minority of the population that benefits from ACA subsidies, or is he fighting for the insurance companies that fear they'll lose 20M customers if the subsidy ends, at the expense of 42M on SNAP, at the expense of the government workers who are forced to work without pay?

Neither, really. He's "Fighting" to show relevance on the national stage. The problem is he's trying to win the pot with a pair of 3's. He has very bad cards to play and very little leverage.
