Booyah-- Look at Nancy Pelosi's big move! She's winning.
This is why we wanted Nancy Pelosi.
From the recent long article in the Washington Post on today’s fake Republican offer:
The calculus for the majority leader changed as the shutdown has dragged on, people familiar with his thinking said, pointing to Pelosi’s letter to Trump on Wednesday suggesting he postpone his Jan. 29 State of the Union address until the government reopens. That moment, the sources said, convinced McConnell that Pelosi would not negotiate without further incentives.

Finally, the Democrats are fighting fire with fire, and McConnell is respecting them.
Pelosi is getting it done.
