Senate Democrats were set to reject a stopgap funding bill for the 10th time Thursday, holding out for a guarantee to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies as a shutdown drags past two weeks. House Republicans have left Washington, leaving Congress paralyzed and hundreds of thousands furloughed. Senate Majority Leader John Thune cited shrinking paychecks and thousands of flight delays, but talks have stalled.
