Scoop: Democrats lean into shutdown fight with alternative funding plan

• The Democratic proposal will include language to prevent President Trump from using rescissions to claw back funding — as he did earlier this year — as well as an extension of Affordable Care subsidies, sources familiar with the matter told Axios.
• Democratic leaders on both sides of the Capitol on Tuesday poured cold water on a GOP plan, which would fund the government through Nov. 20 and includes increased resources for lawmaker security.
• Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) in a joint statement said the GOP plan "fails to meet the needs of the American people."

The big picture: Democrats are preparing to make a shutdown fight all about health care, which they bet will win over voters.

• An extension of ACA tax credits is the top ask for Democrats. The subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year.
• But thus far, Republican leaders have been unwilling to engage with Democrats on their demands.
• "Everyone's about to get the notices that the price of health care is going up," Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) told Axios on Tuesday. "Like, you've got to be willing to have a conversation."
