Any truth to what I head about Melania spending all her days in Trump Tower, waiting for Baron to return from NYU by watching wrestling re-runs from the 1990's on gold-plated television sets while eating Crisco from the can with a spoon?

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead.
House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead.
We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

“Senate Democrats don’t face voters every two years. They have the luxury of overthinking themselves into oblivion, inventing scenarios to avoid confrontation that they can reverse-engineer into seeming wise. That’s what Chuck Schumer did…”
From me: In Democratic politics, there's a caucus who understands the risk of failure & wants to try to win anyway, and a caucus consumed by failure, straitjacketed by risk, who cowers & bows & shrinks from conflict.
The public overwhelmingly wants a fight. Those who won't will get steamrolled.

The Fault Line in Democratic Politics
For the moment, it is not ideological; it’s about whether you’re willing to take a risk.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Republicans cut Democrats entirely out of their process for the CR, didn't want any of our input, and would have been blamed by a majority of the American public for a government shutdown.
There was no reason to cave to them.
Chuck Schumer has to go.

Schumer is weak. I understand that neither option was great, but he chose the option that got him out of a fight at a time when people are begging for dem leadership to fight for them. Extremely disappointing.

Chuck Schumer says he won't block Republican funding bill amid Democratic divisions over shutdown strategy
Schumer relented one day after vowing that Senate Democrats would thwart the "partisan" measure, saying the "chaos" of a government shutdown would be a worse option.
