Annie Grayler at CNN reporting on X that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) told Democrat lawmakers in a closed-door meeting: “Because of our display of unity, the lines of communication have been reopened,” he added that he hopes to reach a deal to keep the government open, according to Grayler.

  • Jeffries' comments suggest that House Democrats may be open to providing a path forward for a new spending plan that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is currently taking through the House Rules Committee to tee up a floor vote in the next few hours.
  • Jake Sherman notes on X, re the comments: "Unclear if this is staff level or principal. But sources tell me the last time Jeffries/johnson spoke before this was before yesterday’s vote failed."
  • Sherman reports that Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY), one of the key agitators against Johnson's funding plan, said after the recently concluded House Republican meeting: “I can’t talk about it.”
