WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is making a new offer to reopen the government on Friday as Republicans have refused to negotiate on their demands to extend health care subsidies.

Schumer is offering Republicans simultaneous votes to end the government shutdown and extending expiring health care subsidies for one year. Democrats are also proposing to establish a bipartisan committee to address Republican demands for changes to the Affordable Care Act.
