“The president has agreed to our request,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) told reporters. “Hopefully the president has learned his lesson.”

“Our unity is our power and that is what maybe the president underestimated,” Mrs. Pelosi said.

Is it reach across the aisle or reach around the aisle?

Bring on 2020...

It is going to be interesting. Trump is a

vengeful creature. This isn’t the end.

That State of the Union address should be a humdinger!

It seems this was all about Pelosi, and it proves that being loyal to the Democratic establishment is the way to go.
because you don't need Medicare For All. What you need is a symbolic partisan victory.

CONGRESS IS PUSHING SANCTIONS AGAINST SUPPORTERS OF SYRIA’S BASHAR AL-ASSAD

ON TUESDAY, THE House of Representatives unanimously passed legislation to impose new sanctions on the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad and its allies, and those who do business with them. The move comes a month after President Donald Trump’s announcement to withdraw troops from Syria, and as some Arab governments are thawing relations with the Assad regime, which has all but secured a military victory after nearly eight years of war. The measure has been passed by the House twice in previous sessions, and a companion bill currently remains pending in the Senate.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., reintroduced the standalone version of the Syria bill, H.R. 31, which passed under fast-track procedures. On the Senate side, the bill is one provision rolled into a foreign policy-related package called the Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act, with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as a lead sponsor. Senate Democrats blocked the bill — designated as S.1, which symbolizes heightened importance — on the grounds that Congress should reopen the government before considering unrelated legislation.

Strengthening America's security my left toe. This is hamstringing Trump from removing the troops period.

Some antiwar groups, including the Friends Committee on National Legislation and Just Foreign Policy, oppose the Caesar bill, considering it a rebuke to the Trump administration’s plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria. “FCNL opposed the original draft of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act [the Rubio-Engel Syria-Iran-Russia sanctions bill] in 2017,” the group said in a statement before the House vote. “Since that time, important changes to the legislation have been made, but our core concerns remain the same. In light of President Trump’s recent decision to begin withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria, support for this bill is widely being interpreted as an appeal for continued military involvement.”

But since many of them believe that Obama's decision to invade Syria wouldn't have been for a good reason they support keeping them there. My how far they have fallen from their anti war days.

Don't remember what site I read it on, but democrats were willing to give Trump $5.7 billion for border security just not the wall. No talking about pay go from Nancy.

Sucking up the credit due all the FAA workers

who called in sick and shut down the airports which obviously had nothing to do with nothing.

Rose power!!! Thanks to Markos and his sheep, Nancy had the superpower needed to take Trump to his knees. Maybe Markos should have given roses to Obama.

Trump will negotiate, and then declare an emergency if they don't give him his wall. One way or another, the man will have his wall.

In light of the display of unity the US presents to the world

Is it reach across the aisle or reach around the aisle?

I'd say it's time to reach for your service animal. I've only recently come to realize how important the alligator can be in that regard.

Man Says Emotional Support Alligator Helps His Depression

A Pennsylvania man says his emotional support alligator helps him deal with his depression.

Sixty-five-year-old Joie Henney, of York Haven, says his registered emotional support animal named Wally likes to snuggle and give hugs, despite being a 5-foot-long alligator. Philly.com reports Henney says he received approval from his doctor to use Wally as his emotional support animal after not wanting to go on medication for depression.

Wally was rescued from outside Orlando at 14 months old. Henney says Wally eats chicken wings and shares an indoor plastic pond with a smaller rescue alligator named Scrappy.
