House Republicans could have accepted the unanimous Senate end to the shutdown, but instead they prolonged it unnecessarily as they quarreled. And now fumbled the ball.

Senate Republicans could have accepted our offer of “yes” on Day One. Instead they held TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard etc hostage, before coming to their senses.
At the end, the whole shutdown was completely unnecessary and 100% caused by Republican dysfunction. 🧵
Key text: the U.S. has “failed to sanction a single new tanker under the current administration.”
More Trump/Russia.
Raindrops on snowdrops.
Bondi fell into the Trump Trap, giving up her integrity to keep her job, and looks like she now will leave with neither.
About time they figured it out. So much unnecessary pain and hassle when this was our offer all along.
“Yes to everything except the ICE/CBP bits that everyone knows need reform” — what was so hard about that? What was the point of holding all the rest hostage?

Today's preliminary injunction makes clear what we knew all along: Trump’s ballroom vanity project cannot continue—and never should have started—without express approval from Congress.
The President is a steward of the White House, not an owner.
Begging the question whether Trump, 79, is in full control of his mental faculties.
In Trump’s dirty energy scam, families pay the cost.
This is what happens when cranks, thieves and sycophants run the United States government.
Add another half-billion to the tab of Trump’s Crazy War, and chalk it up to Putin. Interesting how Putin gets away with that.
Why is Trump the submissive one, in that one relationship?
Curious:
A. What was her business there?
B. What was his business there?
C. Did they take the bedroom jet?
D. Who paid for it?
Boom!
“Over the last several days, Ukraine, using drones and possibly a new cruise missile called the “Flamingo,” knocked out approximately 40% of Russia’s oil export capacity in one night.”
Thank you, everyone. It buoys us to know you have our backs. This was wonderful.
