Multiple sources granted anonymity told Axios that at least 10 Democrats plan to vote on the deal, which includes supporting a procedural motion to approve a series of short-term spending bills that fund the government through the end of the year. The deal also includes voting in December to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that Democrats have been fighting to preserve, according to the report.
There is also a negotiation to reinstate all of the federal workers Trump laid off during the shutdown, the report adds.
Talks are fluid, and no deal is final until lawmakers have voted," Axios reported. "But the discussions are progressing toward a deal that would end weeks of deadlock in the Senate."
A draft of the appropriations bill lawmakers are expected to pass was released on Sunday.

We need new blood, new leadership.
Because of air travel around Thanksgiving, not because of SNAP or ACA.
Ugh, don't inconvenience people with money 😒

(8,081 posts)5. For what it's worth, my local news just had a story on the shutdown an said:
"The shutdown is now in Day 40 and there is no end in sight"
So they have no information on a deal being close.
