Lindsey Graham is talking up a new proposal to end the shutdown, hopes it comes together and gets bipartisan support by end of the week. Details: 1/ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Elements of Graham Plan:
* Graham-Durbin BRIDGE Act granting 3 years DACA extension.
* Extension of temporary protected status (TPS) for many about to lose it
* Border $ including humanitarian $ & barrier $
* NO new limits on legal immigration previously demanded by WH
Graham said Democrats will ask if Trump will sign such a plan. And said that's a good question.

Previously "Tuesday Trump" has liked such ideas and "Thursday Trump" tanked them by adding demands Democrats see as poison pills.

I keep thinking about 2011. New House GOP majority.
Key member: Mick Mulvaney. What did he demand?
Cut, Cap and Balance: No debt limit hike/avoiding default without AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION with a balance budget amendment. & massive spending cuts.
He called it a "compromise."
Obama ended up cutting a deal with McConnell & co. cutting trillions in spending from the baseline over a decade to avoid a default. (Mulvaney voted no).
It's hard to imagine what the equivalent ask from Pelosi would be today?
"I'll shut down the government and default on the debt unless there is a Constitutional Amendment enacting single payer/cap and trade/overturning Citizens United/amnesty for 11 million"?

A Fox Outnumbered host just asked, twice, what if @AOC jumps into the 2020 race for president.

No one corrected her and noted she’s not old enough to run under the Constitution.
I then stopped watching Fox Outnumbered, which was on the TV in the Senate basement dining area.
The Fox host said something like, if Beto's running, why not AOC.

About 3 weeks ago Mitch McConnell got a bill through the Senate via unanimous consent that would have kept govt open through Feb. 8 while Trump negotiated w/Pelosi. McConnell could bring that bill up again but he won’t go against Trump.
So here we are.
Ways to reopen govt:
Trump Caves, signs CR, omnibus or CRomnibus
Trump Caves but declares emergency/builds wall/court fight
Pelosi Caves, fund$ wall
Pelosi Caves but attaches Dem 🥕🥕🥕 Trump agrees to sign
Negotiated deal
McConnell/McCarthy etc defy Trump
One of the ideas rejected would have been: Trump agrees to reopen government for now to set up an accelerated process for negotiations, votes on various ideas. Not quite a full cave but a reprieve.

140+ factual, fully-sourced examples of the impact Brexit is already having on the UK. Jobs going, investment drying up, companies moving assets to the EU, or redomiciling. And all happening as Government burns through £billions chasing a no deal Brexit.

Super-massive "realities of Brexit" thread. Jobs are going, investment is drying up, firms are moving assets to the EU27 or redomiciling. Contingency plans are being executed left and right. Meanwhile, Brexit has already cost us £billions. All happening NOW. #projectreality 1/110

Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia
