Trump, GOP leaders refusing Democratic demands as shutdown continues

BREAKING: McConnell schedules early Monday vote to reopen government

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced plans for a vote at 1 a.m. Monday on a bill to fund the government through Feb. 8. The move appeared designed to force Democrats to either agree to reopen the government without concessions on immigration and other issues, or to vote again for a government shutdown, which Republicans believe will hurt Democrats. The government shut down early Saturday morning after a four-week spending bill failed to gain enough votes to advance in the Senate.

How fkn vile and hateful can he be. Why is it so hard for them to legalize a small amount of undocumented immigrants who have already been living here and paying taxes for years?? How is that going to hurt Americans?

Their hatred for us will never stop.

Feb 8 instead of Feb 16

Progress. I guess.

Do you think it will pass?

Schumer has already said the 3 week extension is out of the window.

Exactly. Not sure what this is supposed to accomplish other than posturing...

1 am vote.

Who's gonna show up?

Vote set up to fail.

Does anyone else think any CR after this will screw Democrats over? I feel like if you sign a cr hoping the Republicans promise a daca vote then any scrutiny they get will be amplified by a 2nd shutdown if that vote never comes. I think it's one shutdown or we're screwed. If Dems planned on getting another cr then I think they should have done it before actually shutting down the govt

Yea, we'll be in the same position we are now.
