He himself was in tear when he ended his speech. Great man!

What are the key points of this bill? Are they talking about the same one that Trump rejected?

Frustrated. Nothing that they alone could do to get this to a vote. We are literally begging the rep leaders to give it a fair vote. Washington at its ugliest.

Top Dem source says most Senate Dems planning to hold the line and vote NO on CR without a DACA deal, upping chances for government shutdown.

Some Ds will vote yes but not nine, source says

@MEPFuller

Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan emerge from a meeting with leadership and say they don’t have a deal, leadership doesn’t have the votes, but things are moving in the right direction.

I believe they're talking about the Graham/Durbin Bill from last week

Transcend 01-17-2018 09:09 PM

Re: Gang of 6 speaking on Senate floor tonight ~ 6:40
 
So the bill being unveiled right now is still the same one that was rejected by Trump. I wish they could have added a few more billion $ for his wall.


So many missed opportunities it's sad....

Shutdown on CR or long term bill? As long as it's CR there is always a chance.

very nice speeches, but who watches these guys? Will this change anything? doesn't look like trump or the majority leaders listen to these. do they? I hope they do because it's our only hope at this point.

They basically looked like they were sucking up to people, and trying to convince their colleagues to support this bill.

We all know the answer to this question,some of us are just reluctant to admit it. It's hard to think that all the doors are closing in on us one by one. But we have to remember that DACA was a miracle , we had nothing before DACA. So just because things look grim doesn't mean its over.

Keep the hope alive guys!

Re: Gang of 6 speaking on Senate floor tonight ~ 6:40
 
just 4 more.... in the senate
All we need is 4 more to vote yes on the budget bill + daca attached to it. This is the promise the gang of six is willing to risk.
