I’m not seeing the compromise
Excuse me, but
a) what happened to Trump’s offer to extend DACA for two years and permanently do away with TPS
b) isn’t the second one the same thing the House keeps on voting on? Who is going to vote against this?

WASHINGTON — The Senate will vote Thursday on two separate bills that would bring an immediate end to the partial government shutdown: one backed by President Trump that includes $5.7 billion for his border wall and another that would simply extend funding for shuttered agencies through Feb. 8.
The plan, a compromise between Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, and Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader, offers the first hint of a path out of the partial shutdown, which is now in its fifth week and has left 800,000 federal workers without pay. The two announced it Tuesday afternoon on the Senate floor.
”People are saying isn’t there a way out of this mess, isn’t there a way to relieve the burden on the 800,000 federal workers not getting paid, isn’t there a way to get government services open first and debate what we should do for border security later?” Mr. Schumer said. “Well, now there’s a way.”
Now there’s a way? How is this anything new? Wow Chuck Schumer to the rescue!
According to the NYT’s story the Trump backed one is expected to fail and the one to extend funding will pass.
So these are essentially bills that have already passed the House and McConnell has refused to bring up for a vote
If this passes this will be a yuuge embarrassment for Trump. Will he veto it? Then veto override?
