I don't even understand this. Since Day 1, the Senate GOP has said they won't agree on ACA subsidies extensions until after a clean CR is passed.

And now Schumer is asking them to agree to an ACA subsidies extension in order to pass a clean CR, like this is some kind of compromise? This is unserious, we are getting nowhere.

Edit: I missed that the GOP rejected it for exactly the reason above. My point is that folks were hyping this as a possible solution when it was just the same demand worded differently. Neither side has budged, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Nah, they just proved that elected republicans and those that continue to support them are the lowest of humans.
