Looks like they're gonna pass a 3 week CR....

They're making me want to puke how much they are patting each other on the backs now. Lindsey said he just got off the phone with the pResident and said he could be agreeable... I think they'll all be happy after today, kissing and hugging and telling each other how great they are...

Senate Ds push back on Trump demand for “large downpayment” in exchange for 3-week CR

Stabenow said giving into Trump will mean WH will use shutdown to get what it wants next: “What does he hold workers’ wages hostage for next? How many times will he try to hold wages hostage?”

All this damage inflicted on the nation for nothing more than Trump's stubbornness and inability to come to terms with a co-equal branch of the government. Every pundit, every analyst, every millionaire talking head chucktodd has to ask this question: What's in the agreement just reached that hasn't been on the table for weeks?

Look for the networks tonight to spin this as Republican party is heroic for overcoming democrats stubborn hostility.
