      UPDATE: Gov’t shutdown will continue into Day 3. Senate will vote on a CR to reopen the gov’t midday Monday. Responsible governing requires working together & finding common ground. There are substantive immigration conversations happening that will solve DACA & border issues.

      Once the government reopens those conversations can and will speed up. But it is imperative that Congress comes together to find solutions in a way that doesn’t jeopardize military, children’s healthcare, and important gov’t functions.

          Infuriating that you would bring the military and children's healthcare into your calculations. You ignored CHIP for months and y'all objected when a proposal to pay the military was brought to the floor. You can't keep operating this country month to month.

          Please address the fact that once the Dems came back to the table, our president, in your party, mocked them with a fundraising email saying that DEMOCRATS CAVED. How can we even have the pretense of bipartisan progress with such petty leadership?

          You called out the Democrats for their responsibility for the shutdown. Can you do the same for the president, who did far more to impede a deal? If not, why not?

          That was detailed by Trump as per the White House. Pass a clean dream act already and stop holding those folks hostage to a stupid wall.
