An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight.  They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more.  Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

Chuck: I heard you. And so I will give the gop everything it wants and more. Oh yeah, and I'll get a faint hope of a promise of something in return. Who loves you, babe?

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Not to mention tapioca brains doesn't need to think big thoughts. He just needs to cheat to be competitive, and acknowledge the fawning adulation of the sycophants. That's what he's done all his life.

The Trump regime's commitment to starving 42 million Americans to force Democrats to agree to take away healthcare coverage from 20 million Americans is frankly astonishing.

What they really want is every penny you have. The suffering is just collateral damage and they don't care.
