there's one thing the democrats in the senate will always stand up to fight for and that's their right to not be inconvenienced
Did they all just do a unanimous consent agreement?

40+ days of furloughs, missed paychecks, $7-14b damage to the economy, no food stamps, air traffic chaos. All to secure affordable healthcare for millions of Americans. Then 8 rogues betrayed the noble 39. But that's a joke and a lie. All 47 turned out to be rogues. There was no point to the pain.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

These sad bunch of traitorous losers destroyed the lives of millions of people for a political stunt with zero objectives other than to spit in the face of everyone who wants the most powerful people on planet Earth to do very basic parts of their jobs.
Pathetic, awful people.

The even more fraudulent thing - or as fraudulent - is that not a single reporter on legacy media or drawing a salary to roam the halls of Congress every day has ever asked them why they allow this. Not one of them discussed it today. Thus most Americans have no idea that every Dem is rolling over.

Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all

Then why haven't they been working during the shutdown?
Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

So over 30 days of slowly (finally) getting people to wake the fuck up and realize how badly republicans are governing, that they don't give a fuck about you, that they will actually burn the fucking country to the ground rather than defy donald trump.
And you fucking handed every bit of that back.

Well done, dipshits. You've managed to take an absolute blue wave of elections, a mandate, and piss it away in less than a week.
AND, in ANOTHER win for donald trump: since eight Dems voting for it ends the shutdown it helps him "prove" that Dems were the ones controlling the shutdown.

This is what modern Democrat leadership has become; Republicans know they can wait them out, and the Democrats themselves will cave.
Democratic leaders are far more concerned about 'looking moderate' than doing the right thing.

Also now that I've watched the clip a few times, she looks very very annoyed.
The backlash is 100% getting to her. Hey @shaheen.senate.gov! You are a traitor to the republic and you should resign rather than complete your pathetic term to avoid further criminal exposure!
