Eight Democratic senators backed a deal to reopen the government, igniting fury across the party after a 40 day shutdown fight yielded only a promised vote next month on Affordable Care Act tax credits. Progressives blasted the move, with Gavin Newsom calling it "pathetic" and Bernie Sanders warning it would be a disaster if Democrats cave, while moderates cited provisions to reverse layoffs, boost SNAP funding and put Republicans on record. The rift has fueled calls for Chuck Schumer's ouster, even though he opposed the measure and sought a one year extension Republicans rejected.
