It's already the second longest shutdown in U.S. history, and Americans are paying the price. Republicans are pushing for a temporary funding plan with no strings attached. Meanwhile, Democrats are demanding restoration of some Obamacare subsidies, which are being cut in an effort led by President Trump.
