Democratic leader offers deal to reopen government but Republicans sneer
Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer offered a new plan to Republicans that would allow the U.S. government to reopen after a shutdown that began on Oct. 1.
But Republicans quickly dismissed Schumer's proposal, which hinges on protecting enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for at least one year.
Schumer's proposal calls for Democrats to agree to pass a so-called clean resolution that would provide short-term funding for government operations.

7 Rural Southern Church-Supper Dishes Still Worth Making
I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. A Midwestern potluck and a rural Southern church supper look similar from a distance: long folding tables, covered dishes, somebody's mother's dessert at the end of the line. Get closer and the resemblance fades fast. In much of the rural South, food was organized by type and the dessert table stood apart, treated almost as its own room. Brunswick Stew came in a cast iron pot the size of a washtub, tended by men who had been at the fire since before the service started. Cornbread baked in the church kitchen and got cut into squares before it hit the table. Banana Pudding traveled layered in a glass bowl, not a pan, because presentation on that table was its own kind of statement.
