While President @realDonaldTrump drags the nation into Week Two of the #TrumpShutdown and sits in the White House and tweets, without offering any plan that can pass both chambers of Congress, Democrats are taking action to lead our country out of this mess.

No way for the Repubs to save face, so they will be forced, in a way, not to sign either bill?

Or...Schumer & Pelosi know the Repubs won't sign either, so they are being bold and strong in their statements, for history and to let the people know the score?

Either way, it's a plan. And of course, they are right in their statements.

I am glad to see the Democrats being bold and strong. I don't pretend to know what to do about the situation.

This is what governance looks like.
