The Senate’s 10th attempt to reopen the government failed Thursday, with a GOP short-term funding bill drawing just 51 votes after progressives rejected promises of a future debate on Affordable Care Act subsidies. Majority leader John Thune offered a scheduled vote on the subsidies, but Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said only signed legislation would do. A second vote could fund the Pentagon, with senators set to leave for the weekend, likely stretching the shutdown to at least Monday. Federal workers described missed paychecks and housing strain as leaders sparred.
