Trump & GOP knew Dems would cave. That’s why they never even pretended to care abt the shutdown. Why put the country through these past few wks if they only care abt their donors anyway? I think these 8 just agreed to take the hit so others could appear to have clean hands. Disgusted w/ all of them
Never forget who sold us out:

Any Dem who hasn’t realized the base is NOT interested in more “politics as usual” hasn’t been paying attention & will get a shock come primary time. We’re paying attention to who’s more worried about donors than American households.

If a politician asking ICE if they have a warrant to arrest someone else is considered “impeding,” does that mean that if I ask that same question if they’re trying to arrest me, it could be considered “resisting arrest”? Genuinely asking.
Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

We can't afford healthcare but we can spend $$$ on stuff like this. How delusional do you have to be to think you have something to say that is so important you can have American tax payers foot this bill? Not to mention the aggravation, logistics & time that could have been spent on better things.
