It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details

Current likely Democratic votes for this:

Shaheen - NH
Hassan - NH
King - ME
Fetterman - PA
Peters - MI
Durbin - IL
Warner - VA
Kaine - VA
Ossoff- GA
Warnock - GA

If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.

Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.

The list:

Durbin
Hassan
King
Cortez Masto
Kaine
Shaheen
Rosen
Fetterman
Schumer
Gillibrand

There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public

And somehow the gambling hooker party would be 300% less corrupt.
