1. Let's revisit what sparked the feud among Democrats

@AOC, @IlhanMN, @RepPressley and @RepRashida didn't want to give Trump billions in "emergency aid" for migrants because they didn't trust how he'd use it

House leadership disagreed

Who was right?

@AOC @IlhanMN @RepPressley @RepRashida 2. When Pence went to the border & saw hundreds of men packed into a cage w/no showers or place to sleep who did he blame?

Democrats

He didn't credit Dems for the billions in funding Trump requested or say that money would be used to improve conditions

@AOC @IlhanMN @RepPressley @RepRashida 3. Trump has made it clear that he views poor conditions for migrants as an effective deterrent to migrants and has no plans to improve conditions

How is this money being used?

@AOC @IlhanMN @RepPressley @RepRashida 4. Trump is so committed to maintaining poor conditions for migrants that he is bragging about it in campaign advertisement on Facebook popular.info/p/trumps-racis…
5. Fundamentally, it comes down to a disagreement in how to deal with Trump and the Congressional GOP

Right now Dem leaders are still treating them as good faith actors who they happen to disagree with on most issues

6. This sounds good but the fight is about how to fight Trump so it's hard to put that aside and fight Trump
