Sometimes I see no hope for humanity.

It wasn't concern about healthcare that opened the government.

It wasn't concern for feeding the poor children that opened the government.

It was flight delays.

Exactly this. It was planned by Democratic leadership.
Why are so many political reporters, politicians, and informed people referring the 8 Democrats who sided with the GOP last night as defectors, when some of them are publicly stating outright that this was coordinated with Dem Senate leadership (as their lack of upcoming elections also makes clear)?

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly.

A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here.

U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

Indeed.
I'm not a SNAP recipient so I have trouble standing firm without being in their shoes.

However, this looks a lot like negotiating with terrorists. Republicans held the vulnerable population hostage, and those Democrats paid the ransom.

Republicans found a strategy they will forever use now.

Democrats shut government down and inflict an untold amount of pain on their own constituents with the lofty goal of ensuring healthcare for the poorest among us. During the shutdown Ds overwhelmingly win nearly all the elections. Clearly they can win this fight and help their constituents.

This is what the United States of America has become.
ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.

"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"

Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.

Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

This is what the United States of America has become.
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.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
