Shutdown for What? (Schumer's Version)

Eight Democratic senators break from the party to cut a deal with
Republicans and end the shutdown without any meaningful
concessions on health insurance premiums. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy
discuss the timing of the deal, the reactions from other elected
Democrats and the party's base, and Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer's apparent inability to hold his caucus together. Then,
they jump into the rest of the news, including Trump's preemptive
pardons for scores of allies who tried to overturn the 2020
election, a whistleblower's report that Epstein accomplice
Ghislaine Maxwell is receiving "concierge-style" treatment at her
minimum security prison facility, and the President's unwelcome
surprise appearance at Sunday's Washington Commanders game.
