Tapper isn't the partisan you might think he is. He wrote a book on the Biden disaster, after all.

Tapper played defense for the Biden admin until the bitter end and released his book only after it was politically safe for him to do so. No credit to him for this.

The WaPo is basically telling the dems they own this:

A turning point in the government shutdown
Piecemeal bills are a waste of time. Just fund the whole government.

The right answer is to reopen the government with a clean funding bill, ideally for a full year, to get food stamps flowing and federal workers back in the office, and then have a debate about ACA subsidies. Democrats openly acknowledge that they refuse to do this because it would mean giving up their leverage. If they persist, it could mean families start to go hungry.

Which is a remarkable thing for the WaPo to come out and even hint at. Maybe the worm is finally turning in the mainstream media.
