Soon, the govt will reopen, and we have a lot to do:
• #ProtectDreamers
• Write a budget
• Address health care, veterans, disaster relief, pensions & the opioid epidemic.The #TrumpShutdown will soon end, but the work goes on.

If you thought it was going to be easy, you weren’t paying attention.
One party just got CHIP re-funded.
— Mark Harris (@MarkHarrisNYC) January 22, 2018
Yes.
We got CHIP refunded so it can't be held hostage
We gave our Red State Dems up for reelection some air
We can shut it down again in 3 weeks just over DACA
We are a minority. Stop complaining & get us a majority in 2018— Dane Venable (@iamthedane2) January 22, 2018
As one who has fought for DACA since long before many who are doing so today, I've always known this is a long struggle, with advances & setbacks along the road. We don't ever freak out. We keep organizing. That's how DACA came to be in the first place.

I meet (and work with) Dreamers who were deported from the US regularly here in Mexico. Foot stomping and yelling about tactics isn't going to hasten their return nor slow the deportations. We have another window coming up on February 8 to win this one. Focus, people, focus.

LEST WE FORGET… Mitch McConnell is an evil, evil excuse for a human being:

CHIP expired 111 days ago – you didn’t seem to mind until these kids became a useful political hostage. https://t.co/BO27VeVXCl

Mitch McConnell is literally holding two groups of Americans hostage, telling Democrats they have to pick between defunding healthcare for children or deporting upstanding young men and women. What kind of man makes a threat like that? https://t.co/ub62NOPE8c

Nice to see Mitch McConnell literally using the same strategy as the Joker at the end of “The Dark Knight.”https://t.co/Y4ysOQIEKP

Also, let’s keep reminding people what a LOSING LUZER Trump has shown himself to be…
The shutdown ended without the president's input. For all we know he's locked in his White House bedroom burger barn with John Kelly and Stephen Miller guarding the door and reading him tracts from VDARE.

Never say the president didn't pay any price. He had to forego his big 100k per person celebrity promotional appearance at Maralago last week-end. #silverlining
