F-ing headlines. Where's " Thune refuses to negotiate for the Democratic votes he needs" [View all]

I cannot find one headline that puts the shutdown threat where it belongs: on Majority Leader Thune's shoulders. This is his ballgame.

It's crap like "Schumer is in a shutdown mess."

I got news. Schumer is no longer the Majority Leader. That's John Thune.

John, ya need Democratic votes for cloture? Then something's gotta give.

Schumer's demand for a clean CR is not even a very strong demand when what Congress should be doing -- Democrats and Republicans -- is facing down the lawless president and the partners in crime he has installed.
