(schumer wasn't the defector this time)

what we got:

a provision that would call federal workers who were laid off during the shutdown back to their jobs. It also would provide funds to ensure that federal workers who were furloughed during the shutdown can receive retroactive pay [(the latter as required by a 2019 law defector Angus King passed)].

The short-term spending bill would additionally bar the Office of Management and Budget from implementing any additional mass layoffs of federal workers through Jan. 30.

what we did not:

healthcare

The fact that one of the provisions is that the Republicans will follow existing law by paying furloughed staff is a massive red flag even if everything else is ignored.

Good job trading something already required for everyone else's healthcare Schumer!
