The thing about Kim Davis is this:
When you choose to serve the public as a functionary clerk, you do not GET to impose your religious beliefs on the citizenry.
If you do not wish to do things which might infringe on your religious beliefs, don't take a government position. It's pretty simple.

I think Schumer was wrong to think a government shutdown would be beneficial to Trump, but it's a defensible argument.
What isn't defensible is to unilaterally decide to work with Republicans to pass the CR after the rest of the party planned for, publicly defended, and voted for a shutdown.

Took a little longer this time, but they did in fact do it again.
Didn't Schumer agree to not pass the funding bill last time, until he flipped at the last second?
How do we know he won't do the same thing again?

The Democrats had Republicans over a barrel. They were winning on both merits and perception. The GOP was in the midst of arguing to the courts that they *could* pay SNAP benefits, they just didn’t want to! And the Dems gave them a mulligan.

I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Blame *all* Democratic incumbents for this surrender. Not just the ones voting for it. The others could have voted to remove Schumer long ago and install a leader capable of formulating a strategy and holding his people together. They were content to stay with a proven loser.
I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

If ten Democratic Senators actually negotiated behind Chuck Schumer's back, he should be resigning in disgrace. That version of events is *worse* for him.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

This is a complete cave to Republicans *after* the election just showed that refusing to compromise is a winning strategy.
How do you surrender after you've already won?

SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

The Hague. All of them.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Pelosi might be the most progressive house leader in history, but a big part of that is because she made sure no one more progressive than her could hold any power in the Democratic party.
