Three days before a partial government shutdown, the House is not in session again today, and no vote is set on a funding plan
Republicans don't have the votes in either the House or Senate to approve the $5 billion the President wants for the border wall
At this point, the House GOP schedule only has "possible" action on a funding bill
7 funding bills have not been acted on. They represent about 25 percent of the discretionary budget for Uncle Sam jamiedupree.blog.ajc.com/2018/12/16/in-…
A partial shutdown of those agencies would impact about 800,000 federal workers nationwide. Most visible would be the National Park Service jamiedupree.blog.ajc.com/2018/12/17/par…

Big flurry of votes now on the Senate floor; Flake changes from No to Yes. Corker votes Yes - now tied at 47-47.
Jones D-AL votes "Aye" - the only Democrat to do that on the motion to proceed. VP Pence breaks the tie.
McConnell says it's up to Democrats to cut a deal with the President. There seems to be no deal in sight.

VP Pence now in meeting just off the House floor in Speaker Ryan's ceremonial office. Photos not allowed. Lots of security. Lots of reporters.
Secret Service seems especially skittish outside Pence meeting. We have been specifically warned not to push too closely for comment upon departure. Normally Pence walks by us without any issue.
Pence, Kushner, Mulvaney leave without comment. Meadows says talks are 'ongoing'

1⃣ Let's take a look at how the Senate works. I've spoken to a decent segment of certain political persuasions to warrant a fresh look. At first, specifically be concerning voting procedures. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown #SchoolHouseRock #BuildTheWall @DNC #WeThePeople
2⃣ Aside from Revenue(tax) bills, bills can originate either in the House, the Senate or both simultaneously. When the bill has been polished it goes to a vote. There are two primary types of vote & one that is considered a countermeasure. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown @DNC
3⃣ Out of Roll Call, Voice Vote & Division Vote, Voice is most used. The bill is brought to a vote & Senators verbally call off 'Yea' or 'Nay'. The presiding officer mentally tallies the verbal vote as best they can & announces the results. #Senate ⬇️

Today, three days before Christmas and with everyone going off into the holidays, @DHSCgovuk published "EU Exit Operational Readiness Guidance: Actions the health and care system in England should take to prepare for a 'no deal' scenario." And that makes for quite a read ... 1/
I suppose we should be grateful that the government recognises this .... 🤯 2/
And then I guess we should be pleased that NHS staff will be directed to make us all feel ok even if there are no medicines .... 🤯 3/

Three days before the 2016 election, Sanders gave Trump voters cover by saying they weren't racist.
Now he says people aren’t “necessarily racist” if they won't vote for black candidates.
Sanders also wanted Obama primaried in 2012, but not GWB in 2004.
And then we have Sanders' bestie saying this:

Michael Moore: 'We will lose in 2020' with Cory Booker, Kamala Harris
washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/…
Your daily reminder that race-baiting is the same when the so-called left does it as when the right does it.

“I think you know there are a lot of white folks who are not necessarily racist who felt uncomfortable" voting for black people, said Sanders thebea.st/2qDjFtb

1. #Midterms2018 - The Facts:
- To win the #House the #Democrats need 23 more seats: Not easy
- To win the #Senate they need 2 more and successfully defend existing seats (100 seats in total, 2 for each #state): Not easy
- I detect that the #TrumpTrain (#RedWave) runs full speed!
2. #Midterms2018 - #Trump does a lot right:
- "The Base" was well prepared: You see it at all Trump-rallies
- Trump pushes a few emotive topics (illegal #migration): He knows - "Keep it simple, stupid!" #KISS
- The numbers are on his side: #Economy & #JobNumbers great
3. #Midterms2018 - What the #Democrats do wrong:
- Too many damaged goods: #ElizabethWarren (#Fakecahontas), #HillaryClinton despite all the support, over a billion war-chest & #media on her side LOST! But they keep pushing her!
- No single winning face, to win the votes!

NorthDakota is politically disenfranchising it's Native American Tribal Members who live on reservations
~normally tribes do not have street addresses..Rs passed law requiring it /cont
Hasn't the dominant white culture done enough to Native Americans already? Do they have to try to take away their Right to Vote, too? #Shame

ND Repubs knew they needed to depress # of Indian votes in order to ensure the R-senate candidate would win over @SenatorHeitkamp 2/cont
so despite decades of knowing members normally had no formal street addresses, the ND/R-legislature passed a law, unfairly requiring it just prior to the Nov Midterm..They had previously passed a similar law & a court ruled against implementing based on its discriminatory 3/cont

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter

2/"If history is any indicator, only around 40 percent of eligible voters will vote in the midterm elections. Most people assume that voter turnout remains this low because Americans are apathetic and simply don’t want to vote. But it’s more likely that most Americans do want to
