Jeffries says House Democrats will vote against shutdown deal, Brooklyn pols vow to fight for healthcare subsidies

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Monday said he will not support Republican legislation that would at least temporarily re-open the government if and when it reaches the lower chamber. 

On Sunday night, 42 days into the government shutdown, a small group of Senate Democrats broke from their party and voted to advance a spending package that would fund the federal government through January but does not include a key Democratic demand: the extension of Affordable Care Act healthcare subsidies.
