Gang of 6 speaking on Senate floor tonight ~ 6:40

Rumors of a DACA deal's death have been greatly exaggerated. On the contrary, I'm joining my Gang of 6 colleagues to speak about our hard-fought compromise bill tonight on the Senate floor. Let's get it done by Friday. Tune in to Facebook Live around 6:40

They need to let Americans know that this is a compromise with members from both parties.

I still cant believe the Freedom Caucus House even has its own "DACA bill", as racist as it is, its still something.

via @SahilKapur! Significant: GOP Senators Collins, Murkowski, Alexander and Rounds just signed on to @lindseygrahamsc’s DACA proposal.


Nice! Senator Rounds from South Dakota and Lamar Alexander from Tennessee!

Votes don't really matter if it is not brought up for a vote in the first place. They didn't say they would vote no on a CR.

Tell them to pass aged out Dreamers bill please.

Re: Gang of 6 speaking on Senate floor tonight ~ 6:40
 
With Rounds and Gardner on board, if every Senate R who backed the 2013 immigration bill also backs the Durbin/Graham bill, plus every D, it'd have *62* votes.

Rubio is a flip flopper coward so probably 61.

you should call your representative!

tell them this,

"include aged out dreamers or no bill passage, aged out dreamers are priority and it should go by seniority. Fuck the 800k DACA'ers."

Bro. I feel for you. I really do. But spamming every thread with the same message won’t do anything. Call your congressman, mobilize that’s whats really gonna help you. People are getting tired of you and that says a ton when every one here is in a shitty position.

Senator Shaheen from NH!! I will vote no on the House CR. This is no way to run a government. Time to keep our promises. Congress must fund a response to the opioid epidemic, children’s health care, community health centers, end the defense sequester & fix DACA. These short-term bills hurt our country.

Another one that has turned. So far that's 5 I fhink

11,12, or 13?

51 - McCain - Flake - Graham = 47

60-47

Or do you only need 59 when there's a person missing. I think I'm not counting one of the independents too

Edit 48 not 47

"With these new cosponsors the Graham-Durbin bill should comfortably pass the Senate — if it’s allowed to get a vote. But McConnell says he wants Trump’s approval first and POTUS remains elusive."

He is indeed! I almost tear up! at least some politicians see us for what we really are, hardworking humans and not just political pawns.
