The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That doesn't mean, though, that the Democrats have ever made passage of that bill - or anything in it other than the ACA subsidies - a condition of passing the CR.

While I have no doubt that the Democrats (like the GOP) have a wish list of all the things they'd like changed, I don't think that bill is Chuck Schumer's list of negotiating points on the CR.


This was literally their counterproposal.

119TH CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
S. 2882
Making continuing appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30,
2026, and for other purposes.
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
SEPTEMBER 18 (legislative day, SEPTEMBER 16), 2025
Mrs. MURRAY introduced the following bill; which was read the first time
SEPTEMBER 19 (legislative day, SEPTEMBER 16), 2025
Read the second time and ordered placed on the calendar
A BILL
Making continuing appropriations for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2026, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Continuing Appropria
tions and Extensions and Other Matters Act, 2026’’.


"Mrs. Murray" is of course my own senator from the state of Washington, Patty Murray. She is the ranking democrat on the Appropriations Committee.
