WTAF...if any other president had done this, they would have been burned down. This is not okay and like the comments say, in violation of the Hatch Act, right?

I'm no legal scholar but I've been combing through the Hatch Act and I think that the outgoing voicemail does indeed violate the law. I'll be filing a complaint with OSC. Cue shrieking about Kathleen Sebelius.

He’s back to tweeting about the nuclear option in the Senate which is just a waste of time and does zero to help anything.

I hope to goodness the Dems get something out of a 3 week CR. I mean do we really need to keep kicking the can down the road?
And what about CHIP and DACA? If they don’t get both as part of the CR this was all worthless and the GOP wins again.
I most definitely want the government open. But just a promise of voting on immigration means nothing with this Congress. Their word means nothing. And even more so with the President we have.
H told me McConnell scheduled a vote at 1 am tomorrow, is that correct?

And I’m not stating we need to keep the govt shutdown. I am a govt employee so I know how hard a shutdown is. That’s not what I’m advocating.

The Dems are taking a big risk by taking a hard line on DACA and it isn’t clear if it will pay off legislatively. I hate that the GOP is trying to pit CHIP advocacy against DACA advocacy and realistically, if the shutdown is prolonged, I think that their xenophobic messaging might work. I’ve taught DREAMers and I support my Senators and Representative in standing up for DACA because it’s the right thing to do, but I’m also very worried that this won’t end well. The Dems have much more to lose in the long run than the GOP if Americans further lose their trust in government.

H told me McConnell scheduled a vote at 1 am tomorrow, is that correct? What I saw was a Feb 8 CR with CHIP reauthorization and a promise of a DACA vote by Feb 8. I do wonder if Senate Dems will take that today since Monday is when a shutdown would get real (and maybe didn’t want to yesterday while their base was out on the streets marching). Who knows if Ryan could get the HFC on board. And who knows where the WH is at. Their messaging is all over the place. Eta: although now that I think about it, if House Dems are on board, the HFC can go fick otself.

Because if they aren't voted on or reauthorized people will be PISSED plus the message of dishonesty.

That makes all the Congressional GOP on the same page now, even Graham, Paul etc who voted against it.
So now we wait for Senate Dems.

Schumer blocked a quick vote on it on Friday night. He wanted a clean 1-4 day CR. As of yesterday, he was saying no. But the thing that I’m unclear of is if a guaranteed DACA vote has been formalized when he said no or if it’s still in the bargaining phase and he’s trying to get that.

This makes it sound like they haven’t yet agreed to a DACA vote guarantee but Rand thinks Dems would take it.

CHIP funding is in the 3-wk CR. But a DACA vote promise is where I’m a little confused. Ryan agreed to take up the CR bill but a guarantee wouldn’t live in the bill. So has he signed on for that? I don't even know if McConnell or Schumer have agreed to that. I think that’s what Graham and Flake have been brokering but it’s unclear where they’re at in the Senate even.

I’m laughing that Melania’s first year anniversary tweet features a picture of her as First Lady...without Trump in it.
