Party prepared to risk government shutdown and will not support GOP bill unless cuts to healthcare are reversed
It has been nine brutal months for congressional Democrats.
Relegated by voters to the minority in last year’s election, they have been powerless to stop Republicans from acting on Donald Trump’s demands to fund an immigration crackdown, strip money for foreign aid and public media, and downsize Medicaid, which provides healthcare to poor and disabled Americans.
That is set to change next week. Funding for the government expires on Tuesday, but Democrats have refused the GOP’s demands to support legislation keeping it open unless the majority agrees to reverse the Medicaid cuts, restore funding to public media and extend subsidies for Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans.
I don’t think there have been any official incarnations where they’re together, however it is a popular ship in fan-made content, so it’s not just you.
There aren’t any real romantic relationships in the series, apart from some of the characters having crushes on each other. (Sally on Linus, Charlie on an unnamed red haired girl, etc.)
