Senate Democrats cave, open path to reopening government

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Senate took a massive step forward on its way to reopening the government on Sunday, with a group of Senate Democrats caving and joining Republicans in their bid to pass a revamped plan to end the shutdown.
Signs that the shutdown, which entered its 40th day, could be ending became more and more clear as the day went on, particularly with the unveiling of a bipartisan package of spending bills that lawmakers hope to attach to a modified bill to reopen the government.
Eight Senate Democrats crossed the aisle to mark the first step in the GOP’s quest to end the shutdown. Many of the lawmakers that splintered from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., were among those engaged in bipartisan talks over the last several weeks.
Among the defectors were Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, John Fetterman, D-Pa., Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., Jacky Rosen, D-N.M., Tim Kaine, D-Va., and the number two Democrat in the Senate, Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

«The question was, does the shutdown further the goal of achieving some needed support for the extension of the tax credits? Our judgment was that it will not,» King said. «It would not produce that result. And the evidence for that is almost seven weeks of fruitless attempts to make that happen.»
Schumer and Senate Democrats long stayed the course that they would only vote to reopen the government in exchange for a solid deal on extending expiring Obamacare subsidies.
But the solution developed over the last several days included nothing of the sort. While there were some wins in the updated continuing resolution (CR), like reversals of some of the firings of furloughed workers undertaken by the Trump administration and guaranteeing back pay for furloughed workers, there was no guaranteed victory in sight on the Obamacare issue.
That means that Senate Democrats effectively caved with little to show for their healthcare push, save for the guarantee of a vote on the subsidies from Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., which was reflected in the updated CR.
Schumer panned the compromise deal, and charged that when Republicans rejected Democrats’ own counter-proposal that would have extended the expiring subsidies for a year, «They showed that they are against any health care reform.»
«This healthcare crisis is so severe, so urgent, so devastating for families back home that I cannot, in good faith, support this CR that fails to address the healthcare crisis,» Schumer said.

Thune was optimistic that the plan would work, and reiterated his promise of a vote on the expiring subsidies. However, whatever legislation is produced to address the Obamacare issue is likely to fail.
«Regardless, as I have said for weeks to my Democrat friends, I will schedule a vote on their proposal, and I’ve committed to having that vote no later than second week in December,» he said.
Progressives in the caucus were unhappy with the developments, too.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, charged that it would be a «horrific mistake» for Democrats to cave now without an Obamacare deal.
«If Democrats cave on this issue, what it will say to Donald Trump is that he has a green light to go forward toward authoritarianism,» Sanders said. «And I think that would be a tragedy for this country.»
Still, there is a long way to go before the government officially reopens.
Sunday’s vote was the first in a series needed in the Senate to modify the original House-passed continuing resolution and combine it with the three-bill spending package and updated CR, which, if passed, would reopen the government until Jan. 30, 2026.
Lawmakers hope that if given the extra time, they could finish funding the government with spending bills rather than turning to another CR or colossal omnibus spending package, which crams all 12 government funding bills into one piece of legislation.
«If we blow this window, we’re going to get stuck with a yearlong CR,» Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said.

And the shutdown won’t end in the Senate, given that the changes to the legislation will need to be greenlit by the House before making it to President Donald Trump’s desk.
Democrats could still extract pain through procedural hurdles unless there is unanimous agreement from all 100 senators to move forward with the remaining votes.
The Obamacare issue is still bubbling on both sides of the aisle, however. Senate Republicans slammed the state of healthcare throughout Saturday, particularly over how the subsidies funneled money to insurance companies.

Democrats still remained skeptical if their frustration, and desire to make changes to take on insurance companies, was legitimate.
«The point, I think that’s really relevant here, is if they’re serious, and I really question whether that’s the case,» Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said.

Qué leer esta semana: autorretrato de una niña violada por su padrastro, Viviana Rivero y la verdad sobre el cuidado del riñón

Sí, los libros nos acompañan bajo las frazadas en invierno y en la felicidad del aire libre o de una buena ventana cuando la temperatura empieza a subir. Los temas que tocan pueden ser reconfortantes como la primavera o de una dureza acorde con lo más polar del invierno. Esta semana tendremos un poco de todo.
Aquí hablaremos de Triste tigre, una verdadera historia de terror publicada por Anagrama y narrada con calidad literaria por Neige Sinno, la mujer que era una nena cuando su padrastro la violaba, entre los siete y los 14 años. Tambien de Secretos de sangre, donde la escritora argentina Viviana Rivero retoma personajes de su primer éxito para narrar historias cruzadas entre la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Argentina contemporánea. Y, finalmente, de Por mis riñones que hoy como diez veces bien, donde el médico Borja Quiroga y el cocinero Miguel Cobo muestran cómo cuidar en serio los riñones, sin caer en mitos. Como agregado, un bonus track, gratis, de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, que en estos días compite por el National Book Award, el gran premio literario de los Estados Unidos.
Todos los libros de los que aqui hablamos se consiguen en formato digital o audiolibro, para aprovechar comodidad y precio.

Muy triste, muy, muy triste lo que cuenta Neige Sinno. El tipo es un seductor, la gente lo quiere, incluso después de que confesó lo quieren, algo como “un buen tipo que violó a una nena”, ese tremendo oxímoron que la empatía puede generar. O, para decirlo, mejor: “Ese buen tipo que violaba a una nena”. Porque no fue una vez, fueron siete años. No fue en una calle oscura: fue en la casa donde él vivía como el marido de la madre de Neige y el padre de sus medio hermanos. No fue “un poquito” fue penetrando, poniéndole el miembro en la boca e incluso usando zanahorias y zapallitos cuando había que hacer lugar.

Triste tigre
Audiolibro
Sinno, nacida en 1977, lo cuenta todo ahora, que es una mujer grande pero no deja espacio para creer que “ya pasó”. Aunque siguió su vida, estudió en Estados Unidos y vive en México, se casó y tiene una hija, no permite, en el texto, que nos vayamos tranquilos, con la ilusión de la víctima que superó todo y curó sus heridas. La herida estará para siempre, aunque sea en forma de cicatriz.
Otro aspecto notable es el análisis que hace de Lolita, la novela de Vladimir Nabokov publicada en 1955 que tanta controversia causó. Se trataba, justamente, de la relación entre un adulto y una chica de 12 años. ¿Relación?¿Romance? Sinno destruye cualquier interpretación en ese sentido y valora la manera en que el autor muestra la cabeza de “alguien que hace el mal de forma deliberada”.
Triste tigre es un plato fuerte, para paladares duros. Inolvidable.
Un médico argentino que reside en Nueva York encuentra una acusación de nazi pintada en la fachada de su casa y, tras el impacto, decide investigar el pasado de su abuelo, un diplomático alemán que se refugió en Mar Chiquita, Córdoba durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La búsqueda lo lleva a la Argentina, donde el silencio que rodea la figura de Marthin Müller y el encuentro con Coralina Carreño, una joven madre con un secreto, abren nuevas incógnitas familiares.

Secretos de sangre
eBook
La novela alterna entre la época de la guerra y el presente, situando parte de la trama en el Hotel Viena, donde Marthin Müller y su esposa Amalia vivieron una intensa historia de amor.

Viviana Rivero, autora de esta obra, nació en Córdoba, Argentina, y divide su residencia entre su ciudad natal y Madrid, España.

Sus libros, publicados en España y otros países de habla hispana y traducidos al italiano, han alcanzado una gran repercusión de público y crítica. Actualmente, Rivero es profesora en el máster de literatura de la Universidad Internacional de Valencia (VIU).

¿Será verdad que beber dos litros de agua cada día beneficia a tus riñones? La hormona EPO, responsable de oxigenar la sangre, se produce en los riñones.

Es bastante impactante que una escritora con una mirada tan profunda sobre América latina, la colonización, el derecho a la más radical de las diferencias y el impacto de la civilización sobre la naturaleza esté en la “lista corta” de uno de los grandes premios internacionales de literatura. Pero así es. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara está viajando a Nueva York donde el 19 de noviembre se hará el anuncio.

El onceavo dorado
eBook
Mientras tanto, se puede leer, gratis, El onceavo dorado, un cuento que Cabezón Cámara publicó a través de Leamos, la editorial digital de Infobae.
Desde el barro de la villa hasta el piso once de un edificio lujoso, Ariel experimenta un ascenso marcado por la distancia de la pobreza, la violencia y el hambre. En ese entorno de privilegios, rodeado de cocaína pura, promesas de riqueza y compañía ocasional, planea escapar al extranjero.

La aparente seguridad de Ariel se ve amenazada por la traición, ya que su posición resulta ser la de un peón dentro de un sistema que manipula y destruye vidas con precisión implacable. La autora Gabriela Cabezón Cámara expone en su relato la brutalidad de un engranaje social que compra lealtades y sacrifica personas, mientras el lujo y el progreso encubren una inminente catástrofe.

DNC staffers ruthlessly mocked for fuming over remote work reversal: ‘Get yourselves together’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Democratic National Committee employees were mercilessly mocked this week after news came out that staffers were very unhappy with a recent directive from DNC Chairman Ken Martin end to remote work for employees who will now be required to show up to the office five days a week.
Leadership of the union representing DNC employees put out a statement following news of the new directive, describing it as «callous.» Reports from those on the staff-wide call also described an immediate flurry of thumbs-down emojis and other signs of anger upon news of the new requirement.
«It was shocking to see the DNC chair disregard staff’s valid concerns on today’s team call,» they wrote. «D.N.C. staff worked extremely hard to support historic wins for Democrats up and down the ballot last Tuesday, and this change feels especially callous considering the current economic conditions created by the Trump administration.» Martin reportedly told employees that if they don’t like the new policy, they should go find a job elsewhere.
And Martin wasn’t the only Democrat who had some harsh and pointed words for the Democratic Party staffers. Neera Tanden, former President Joe Biden’s domestic policy advisor, had a similar message for DNC staffers, suggesting there were many eager folks waiting in line who would likely be more than willing to go into the office.

«If you think democracy is on the line – working in the office is not a big ask,» Tanden wrote in a post on X. «And there are plenty of other people willing to step up. Get yourselves together people.»
A left-wing group, the Center for New Liberalism, echoed the view that the staffers «should look elsewhere» if working from home is a «must-have.»
«When you accept a job on a campaign, or with an org like the DNC, DCCC, etc, your single purpose is to win the election. It is a demanding job that requires long hours & sacrifices,» the group wrote on X. «The other part of this is that I suspect [work from home] staff are probably losing opportunities for themselves by not being in the office. Campaigns require a lot of personal sacrifice, but the people who are good at their job and work to make themselves noticed in the office usually tend to go on to do big things!»
One Florida-based Democratic strategist, Steve Schale, who led Barack Obama’s statewide efforts in Florida in 2008 and returned to help his campaign in 2012, said the DNC should implement a «requirement» to ensure those who want to work at the DNC really have what it takes.
«There should be a requirement that to work at the DNC that you’ve done at least two cycles on an actual battleground campaign, where terms like flex hours & hybrid work don’t exist,» Schale wrote on X.

Meanwhile, Republicans did not spare the opportunity to slam Democratic Party staffers as well.
«You can’t make this up — the DNC union is pissed that the Chairman is calling staff back into the office 5 days a week,» former Trump White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said after learning of the anger. GOP strategist, Matt Gorman, quipped that the image of DNC staffers logging onto a Zoom call in their pajamas amid all the chaos of Biden’s reelection «is hilarious.»
«The best part is that they still get two full months before they actually have to get out of bed 5 days week,» GOP National Press Secretary Kiersten Pels said. «Is this a political committee or a daycare?»
Martin reportedly told his employees that the work-from-home policy the DNC implemented during COVID was never meant to be permanent, describing it as a «Band-Aid» that has long needed to be ripped off. He did say that remote work would still be allowed on a case-by-case basis, however.

The staffer’s union said it is considering all options in terms of challenging the measure. The group previously ratified a collective bargaining agreement with the DNC over the summer that «reaffirms its commitment to making hybrid work available,» but also includes language that allows for a full return to in-person working as long as there is a 60-day notice period, according to the New York Times.
Earlier this year, the Congressional Progressive Staff Association sent a letter to top House and Senate leaders proposing a rotating 32-hour work week for congressional staffers, arguing it would be a more «sustainable approach to work on a national level.»
The proposal was widely mocked, however.
«Why not be bold and ask for a 0-hour workweek?» quipped Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., at the time. «I wonder how blue-collar Americans would feel about white-collar workers demanding a 32-hour workweek.»
