NEW: Senate Democrats eyeing 2020 split on the government funding bill.

Klobuchar, Brown, Sanders vote YES.

Harris, Warren, Gillibrand, Booker vote NO.

The dividing line? Giving Trump extra money for immigration enforcement.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Harris votes NO due to concerns over DHS funding and immigrant detention. Booker wants "appropriate guardrails" before giving ICE/CBP any more money. Gillibrand seeks "accountability" for ICE.

An important debate inside the Democratic Party 👇

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Just 16 senators voted against the spending bill to keep the government open.

25% of them are Democrats running for president.

Here is what's going on.

!! @SenAlexander (R-Tennessee) calls President Trump's national emergency declaration "unnecessary, unwise and inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution."
.@SenMikeLee says Trump's emergency declaration is legal.

"Whether or not it should be legal is a different matter. Congress has been ceding far too much power to the executive branch for decades. We should use this moment as an opportunity to start taking that power back."
.@SenThomTillis says Trump's emergency declaration would "create a new precedent that a left-wing President would undoubtedly utilize to implement their radical policy agenda while bypassing the authority of Congress."

NEWS: McConnell says he just talked to Trump and that "he's prepared to sign the bill" to keep the government funded.

"He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time," McConnell says.
This is big, from @SenateMajLdr: "I've indicated to (Trump) that I'm going to support the national emergency declaration."
McConnell sets up a 3:30pm Senate vote on the government funding bill.

.@BernieSanders tells me he’ll introduce his Medicare For All Act for the new Congress “fairly soon.”
Last Congress, the @BernieSanders Medicare for all bill was cosponsored by Warren, Harris, Gillibrand, Booker.

It’ll be a defining issue in the 2020 Democratic primaries.

.@brianschatz just reintroduced his bill to create a “public option” Medicaid buy-in across all states.

It’s cosponsored by Warren, Harris, Booker, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, among others.

#Democrats Fighting To Protect #2500IllegalAliens Locked Up For #MolestingKids In Texas

If Republicans had a messaging operation, they would be hammering statistics like these at every event and at every encounter with the media

This is what #SpeakerPelosi, #SenatorSchumer and other #Democrats have shut down the government for. To protect thousands of #IllegalAlienRapistsPedophiles.

#JuanAbregoChavez guilty of #rape of a child & 2 counts of aggravated #SexualBattery is serving a 30 year sentence in a different case in Maury County. The district attorney estimates that there are several victims not known about. Abrego has faced allegations from 4 children.

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 ⬇️

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
