    Shame on Chuck Schumer. The deal he just made with Republicans hinges on Mitch McConnell's honesty and integrity. What a foolish thing they've done.

        If there is no DACA deal, government shuts down again in 3 weeks. Meanwhile CHIP is funded for 6 years. This is real life folks, symbolic victories are nothing.

        Thanks to Twitter, I think I'm on track to go insane by the end of the day. But it will be a righteous insanity that is loud, and proud, and morally couragous, and gets nothing done at all.

        They didn’t even make a deal. Gave them everything they wanted in exchange for a “one free conversation about DACA” coupon they didn’t read the fine print on.

        He got health insurance funding for millions of kids. Might not mean nothing to you but those families are grateful. Perhaps @ShaunKing and the rest of the Berners should have thought about DACA before giving republicans control of congress and the WH.

        They care! Ds shut down the government over this issue! But we are the minority party in every branch and our powers are limited! Do the Ds not understand this?! Perhaps all these Ds should vote more often so they have more public representatives in government!!

        when is Chuck going to realize that Republicans are mostly racists and white supremacists led by the chief racist Trump? This is terrible.

        Calm down Shaun....it's 2 weeks. There's a stay pending a #SCOTUS intervention re #DACA repeal. And in 2 weeks they'll need 60 votes too.

        You’re expectations for Dems are consistently too high Shaun. Make the switch and go green to fight the duopoly of elites.

        Shaun, wrong. If McConnell lies and doesn't allow a vote, the Ds are much better position when the CR runs out. This is a nuanced chess game in a Twitter world. Play it out in your head.

        They got CHIP funded for 6 years. In 3 weeks they get to revisit this without millions of kids health hanging in the balance.

        Schumer wins either way. If McConnel honest, win for Senate. If he lied,win to shut down on 2/8. Ryan and team are the problem. He has committed to ZERO. But will be forced to show his true position.
