  7. If you’re a Democratic member of congress and you just watched the President in the rose garden... can you figure out what he wants in this negotiation? Steel, but not in California? (Except in San Diego?)

    Paging the Presidents Club: Which of you told President Trump that he is right about the wall, as Trump just claimed?

  10. This should be instructive for all the new members. Congress is the most accessible institution in DC, with the arguably the most aggressive press corps. If you make news - on purpose or accidentally - you better be ready to talk about it.

    95% (!!!) of HUD is furloughed for shutdown. "Most of HUD’s routine enforcement activities have been suspended, including mandatory health and safety inspections of housing for low-income families, the elderly and people with disabilities"

    I can understand saying you won't vote for Pelosi and having to stick by it, but how is voting "present" good politics for anybody? You just got elected to congress and your first vote, for your leader, is a shrug idk?
