The government is back up and running after Congress passed a short-term budget deal. The deal funds the government until February 8th, but is the showdown really over, or has it just been delayed?
Amanda Marcotte, Politics Writer at Salon, discusses the specifics of the deal. Democrats didn't get what they wanted when it comes to immigration and DACA, but they did get six years of funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
