The @senatemajldr has made the political calculation that there is not enough pressure on @SenateGOP to justify breaking unity, which he can now hold by bringing no measure forward that would split his caucus. washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
.@senatemajldr McConnell clearly knows about the United States Constitution’s Presentment Clause override provisions, and knows his assertion that the President must sign a law is false.
.@senatemajldr also knows that the bills that would end the shutdown got huge, veto-proof majorities in the Senate.
This is his #shutdown as much as anyone’s now.

This Graham effort could go forward if McConnell simply put the proposal to a vote.
Reopen the government & begin hearings on #immigration & border security — it would pass by a ton.

This shutdown has caused unnecessary hardship for @TFGreenaorport employees & other federal workers around #RhodeIsland who have not been paid. #EndTheShutdown
The @SenateGOP majority has the power to end the #TrumpShutdown today, voting for bills they’ve already supported, and making these hardworking #RIers whole. #EndTheShutdown
Just went through @TSA screening at @tfgreenairport; as always, they were cheerful and professional, and kept it moving smoothly — though not getting paid.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
