If you bet on "Chris' smiling face will appear on NPR.org this year," you just won big.
You also have a gambling problem :)

#House passes bill to reopen government after longest #shutdown ever
The legislation now goes to #Trump to sign into #law.
The bill INCLUDES the provision allowing Senators who were investigated by the #DOJ for their alleged involvement in Trump’s effort to overturn the #2020election to sue the #US #government for $500,000.
It DOES NOT INCLUDE the #healthcare subsidies for the #ACA, nor a reversal of the GOP #Medicaid cuts Democrats wanted.

"Senate Republicans say they will only agree to extend expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) funds if Democrats accept new, stricter abortion restrictions on insurance plans, creating a major standoff that threatens to raise premiums for more than 20 million Americans next year. Democrats insist current ACA rules already comply with the Hyde amendment’s ban on using federal funds for abortion, calling any additional restrictions a nonstarter."
"Republican leaders, backed by anti-abortion groups such as Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, argue that states allowing abortion coverage through separate non-federal funding streams still violate their principles and want what critics call 'Hyde plus-plus,' a change that could block subsidies entirely in some states."
"We now have clarity on what Republicans are demanding in exchange for extending the ACA tax credits: new abortion restrictions that go even further than the already-strict Hyde Amendment. That is the price they’re trying to extract."

Bullshit
Enough #Democrats voted with #Republicans to allow a spending deal that would reopen the government without the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies they had originally sought.

I can’t tell if I’m reading this correctly, but it would appear that my health insurance is going from $770/month to $2300+/month. I’m just not going to pay that. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I don’t know what everyone else is doing, but this is really fucked. #Healthcare #ACA

"When a health insurance company refuses to pay for treatment, most people begrudgingly accept the decision.
Few patients appeal; some don’t trust the insurer to reverse its own decision.
But a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion outside their walls can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment."
