Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 7d

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

In Economist/You Gov weekly tracking poll Trump's job approval drops 3 pts, now 39%-56% (-17)
- Only 37% support military in cities
- 33% support his handling of shutdown
- Rs lose 2 pts in generic ballot, Ds now up 44-39 w/RVs
Lots of not winning here for Trump/Rs

DURBIN: You won't even say whether you talked to the WH about this?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any internal conversations with you

D: They're going to transfer TX Guard troops to the state of Illinois. What's the rationale?

B: I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump
