Democratic support for a potential deal to reopen the government has crumbled because of deep mistrust among Senate Democrats over whether they can trust President Trump to act in good faith to extend health insurance subsidies or to stop firing federal workers, NewsNation reports.

I don't know how people are going to make it this year between the high grocery prices and the unaffordable healthcare and housing

(24,051 posts)Says the Dems are united and will agree to open the government with a one year extension of subsidies and the formation of a study group (forget the exact term) to determine the future of the subsidies. Sounds very reasonable, which probably means the Rs won't bite.

How can we hold them accountable?
None of them are worthy of our trust.

Anything to hurt anyone else by way of making him look more powerful is Epstein's bff's SOP.

I never saw anything but a pile of shit when I see the Trump family. I cant understand anyone that sees anything in his soulless eyes.
