INSIDE THE HOUSE DEM CAUCUS: Two House Democrats say @SenatorDurbin — who is huddling with them this AM — said he and McConnell were negotiating positively last night when McConnell got a call from @SpeakerRyan, returned and said all bets are off.
One Dem said the discussion included talk of bringing an immigration bill to the floor in both chambers but Ryan wasn’t prepared to commit to that in the House.
.@RepRaulGrijalva confirms account of what Durbin told members: “They were close to a deal and then Ryan made a call and didn’t want anything on immigration.”
Rep. @GerryConnolly: “I don’t think there was a lot of optimism about short-term prospects for success. I’m afraid the Trump shutdown may go on for awhile.”

He says House GOP leadership is “thwarting” possible deals and called the Trump White House “missing in action.”
House Dems have a prop for their press conference.
