Schumer: “Let me just answer the Majority Leader here. What leads to problems in this place, what leads to a government shutdown? One side deciding everything and then saying to the other side “you must go along.”

If, God forbid, there is a shutdown, it will fall on the Majority Leader’s shoulders and the President’s shoulders. We all know what the President has said. He wants a shutdown..the truth is, this is a purely partisan effort.

President Trump rescinded the DACA program, no Democrat. It was the Majority Leader’s decision to kick the can down the road for months, while bipartisan majorities would have likely supported something close to the Dream Act.”

Dem Caucus Chair Crowley "Republicans have shown the ability to pass a short-term CR on their own." Crowley says Dems won't back a short-term CR to avoid a shutdown unless DACA is attached.

Well that's that. Both parties have dug themselves in their trenches. Thanks, Trump.

She’s referring to the House not the Senate. Some Democratic House members did voted for it after it was apparent that the GOP had enough votes for it in the House to pass the bill.

Both sides are whipping their votes today. Let's hope the dems win, for once for God's sake

Grijalva on mtg w/WH CoS Kelly on DACA: I leave the meeting with not a great deal of optimism. I think it was a rehash of previous discussions with General Kelly in terms of…he said it’s mainly Congress’ problem to get this solved. Well, it’s the White House’s problem

It's congress' s problem but they will only do what WH says, I guess we have a deadlock.

Dem Caucus Chair Crowley on why he believes voters will blame GOPers if gov't shuts down: They have all the tools within their quiver to keep gov't operating..they holistically own gov't. They have yet to prove they can govern beyond short-term spending bills.

.@RepGutierrez on Gen Kelly/Congressional Hispanic Caucus meeting: “It was good we met, unfortunately Mr. Kelly didn’t bring a proposal and didn’t bring us a solution and a way forward...Having said all that I think the meeting was a very positive step forward.” via @jason_donner
