They are counting on Americans to forget how the house passed a continuing resolution with wall funding and the flaked out Senate wouldn't vote on it. When the Senate comes back at 57-43, it only takes three Democrat defections to defeat that plan - so Schumer must think he can control his caucus - at least for a while. We need to keep up the pressure to accurately depict this as the obstructionist Democrat shutdown. Any anons living in a blue state need to blast their Dem senator or congressional rep with emails, calls, social media call outs and more.
What the Senate needs to do is take up the bill the House passed before the shutdown and either (1) find three Dem senator defections (unlikely) or (2) use the nuclear option and pass the previous House bill using a simple majority.
Not going to happen, but it would quickly take out a bunch of deep state types - so call this plan B.
