I'm looking to see not only which Senate Dem candidates oppose this surrender (all of them will) but also where they go beyond this with respect to senate leadership.

I want to see concrete promises for a new fighting Dem Party, because the current one is broken.

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

I spent the last half hour calling these offices and those of my senators in VA. I left messages where I could, I invite you to do the same.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

This is why you DON'T stop the shutdown. Clearly the voters know who's responsible for the shutdown and now it's gonna be even worse. Since the news isn't willing to be honest with Americans about what Trump was and is, this will have to do so they can get the message.

He admitted Republicans are cheating.

Watching MISERY and just noticed for the first time that the first page of Shelton’s new book set in the 1800s is a review of Cameron Crowe’s SAY ANYTHING

His delusion and narcissism prevent him from acknowledging any reality that isn’t the one in his head. Years ago, a friend interviewed him once about THE APPRENTICE being rated No.2, he said No.1, & accused her of being nasty and mean and “fake” when presented with the facts.

This is criminal election interference. Not only should Democratic states refuse, they should disconnect all federal buildings from power grids & utilities, shut off all services to them, order all state & city employees to refuse to participate or respond, & request UN + NATO sanctions & meetings.

As a family member who works in intelligence said: ”He will be dead by then. No one is worried about that.“ I know this guy’s proclamation is scary, but consider the source — he is a drunk, racist zealot and narcissist.
