There are the following deadlines
1) the current shutdown
2) the February CR deadline that Republicans want (after 3 or 4 weeks)
3) the end of February debt ceiling deadline
4) the March CHIP deadline
5) the March DACA deadline
6) the deadline for disaster funding; FEMA is already running out of money in Texas, or will soon
=====
JUST BTW
The February CR must go at least through the election; as should the debt ceiling. After all, a government shutdown in October would be disaster for Republicans.
=====
I WILL STATE THE OBVIOUS
The best time to deal with DACA and CHIP politically is NOW. If the Democrats allow 2 or 3 weeks to pass, DACA will be lost among the other issues.
