1. Trump's polls in the gutter.
2. Repubs got their asses handed to them Tuesday nationwide.
3. Public opinion solidly in favor of the Dem position.
4. So naturally, Senate Dems are caving and keeping their corporate donors happy.
5. This "strategy" should cost the Spineless 8 their jobs. Period.

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.
And make health insurance affordable.
The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.
I'm voting no.

We can’t forfeit at halftime anymore. We have to play beaten and bruised. We can lean on each other, even if it’s a tiny team.
The point is: we can field a team.
We can show up and play.
We can win when we compete.
Run. The. Ball.

ICE isn’t only continuing to spend millions on advertising despite the government shutdown — in some cases it has even ramped up its taxpayer-funded propaganda push.

The Republicans have really backed themselves into the corner.
They can’t negotiate with Democrats because as soon as Congress comes back, and they swear in Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva, Congress will take a vote to release any lists or names associated with Epstein.
