Democrats made people stuffer, lose their pay and get fired from their jobs because, in the end, all they did was give in and allow the CR to pass like they could have 40 days ago. They got nothing. Nothing.
A "promise for a vote" is not a thing. It's, very literally, meaningless.
A "promise" in the Senate means nothing in that House or in the WH
