My state senator (and local 2020 heartthrob) thinks there wasn’t even a commitment made to go back on. It doesn’t square with people telling me they got exactly what they wanted. Otherwise, why go public.


In many ways, it doesn't matter if it was some kinda official guarantee. If democrats make such a clear gesture towards reaching an agreement, and things don't go well in 3 weeks, they can pretty much do whatever they want without being the bad guys. This is more of an optics thing, the fight happens again in 3 weeks. This just gives democrats more room to be obnoxious later.

I took her language to mean private commitment. As in, she doubts McConnell made any commitment to Schumer to later go back on. Nothing suggests official.

You're saying you think Schumer made up a conversation even thought it would be extremely easy for turtle to say he was lying? Is turtle saying it is a lie?

The comment to me seems more like a sarcastic/combative remark. Like she trusts McConnel so little that what he said doesn't register as a commitment, rather than McConnel didn't make it. But it's hard to say without hearing it and the context.

The FBI agent and his texts throws a cloud over the investigation. But they fired the guy instantly and I don't think he was a lead on the investigation. But I fully expect the House Republicans to use this as a way to attack the investigation and the FBI. Especially when the investigation could lead to any congress member's campaign, because this isn't just about Trump.

What about the whole bump-stock thing?

On another note, how is this CHIP extension being funded? Is it just a clean spending measure rather than the cut from medicare one? Is there anything else in this stopgap measure that's notable, but not headline worthy?

Congress has done nothing and a bunch of states(I believe it was somewhere in the mid teens) are trying to ban them at the state level.


Paul Ryan talked about debating it and then it died in the House. Because that man has no control over the floor or that chamber.

Mueller’s solid in there. Any firing and somebody else would resume.

This is about FBI rep and accusations of politicization without the DOJ. You don’t tell the FBI that six months of texts got disappeared, but they just told that to Congress. This will resonate.

The DOJ still oversees the FBI and this investigation. Losing those texts is not great, but I'm also confused why they couldn't get them again. Its not like there is only one copy in the world of those text exchanges. But beyond that, this one agent does not make the FBI suddenly more political. Having to investigate sitting elected officials made the FBI political because that is what always happens. Happened with Bill Clinton. Happened with Nixon.

Right after ending the shutdown, you don’t want a prominent Senator expressing doubts that any deal was struck. If you’re the minority leader, this is a strike at your members confidence in you. Maybe you’re saying Harris is off her rocker? Should someone tell her how stupid she is to avoid embarrassment?

Well, the shutdown ended in three days and nothings on the record for what concessions Schumer got for the DACA bill (he has absolutely refused changes to chain migration and lottery). It’s very natural for some reporters to conclude Schumer took a licking now (but lives to fight another day with this short CR)

No, I think it is just posturing. Having a situation where Schumer barely has a grasp on his rowdy liberals is exactly the sort of "they're all crazy!" stuff somewhat-reasonable republicans have been doing as they negotiate various things. Having a restless, principled component is a good thing for democrats when it comes to negotiating in 3 weeks. They are going to be significantly less reasonable in 3 weeks and quotes like what you are describing will help.

Think of it like a tea party lite. That same kinda "yeehaw, enough al-uh-ready"

it seems to me like she just has no confidence in McConnell’s integrity, just as none of us do. though i agree it’s bad optics on a technical level, i don’t think there’s anything particularly scandalous about expressing your lack of confidence in a known shit heel.

granted none of us are senators, we’ve all come to that same conclusion. i’m leaving room to be pleasantly surprised at him keeping his word, but have a healthy skepticism. i too would say no deal was made until it’s voted on, because the fact is the senate has been, at best, inconsistent.

i would go a little further and say no side has any shutdown victory. instead Schumer has just given everyone a clean slate(or taken it depending on your perspective) and set up the GOP to either pass DACA legislation(win/win because everyone wants it right?) or take an even bigger loss in 3 weeks.

No one should be surprised if other Senate Democrats voice doubts that McConnell can follow through. Because his about to control his own chamber has been poor at best. Same with Ryan and the House. The last time the Senate voted in immigration, it just died in the house without even a floor debate.

They support the same bill but a week shorter and with a pinky promise from McConnell. It's certainly not the activists on the dem side were demanding (See Harris, Kamala). Future circumstances can change but this looks like treading water at best for Democrats.

They support the same bill but a week shorter and with a pinky promise from McConnell. It's certainly not the activists on the dem side were demanding (See Harris, Kamala). Future circumstances can change but this looks like treading water at best for Democrats.


I think this is a great play for the long game. If the R can't keep their promises then the next shutdown in 3 weeks has a whole new reason behind it.

And Nunes has his memo detailing wrongdoing at the FBI which he refuses to release.


He won't even release it the director of the FBI, apparently.


Because its nothing. This is just something so the crazies can get all riled up


I thought that at the very least the committee has to vote to release it. I can see why the Democrats would block the memo, but I think they are also blocking the whole thing.

I don't think Nunes can release it by himself.
