Some people are bulletproof. Don't long to be one of them unless you long to also be an awful person. No bulletproof person has ever been good.

I see no specific reason why I should live in a solidly Dem state (New York) and deserve two of the most useless Senators. There are only 100 of them.

I've worked the last three weekends at my day job. I can't say I'm terribly sympathetic to Democratic senators for caving after working one weekend, especially considering the amount of labor they actually do.

At some point we have to let pain hurt Trump instead of helping him. Every time we let pain help him, he’ll do more and bigger next time.
Each acquiescence means the next one will be *more* painful.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.
