This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!
Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesnβt actually help them. Itβs gross, but it doesnβt really move the needle.
Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal. Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. For months, Iβve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news. Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

Michael Bennet: I really am a Bolshevik. I believe we should provide universal healthcare to all Americans as a right. There is no reason not to do it in the richest country in the world, especially if we can do it at half of the cost of care we are providing now.

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans wonβt end the hurt.
Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they donβt like.
Deals with this regime are meaningless.
