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.

Tomorrow:

-GOP House bill with $5b for @POTUS vanity wall dies

-No more stupid House hearings on Hillary's emails or regulating free speech of internet companies

-Stephen Miller's fantasy of changing the laws to restrict legal immigration ends in a whimper

President Donald Trump will appear on Fox News’ New Year’s Eve special. The President will be interviewed by one of the conservative cable TV network’s most devoted Trump supporters, Pete Hegseth.

Among the topics expected to be discussed are Trump’s partial shutdown of the federal government, and his goals for the new year, The Hill reports.

CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter notes Trump appeared on Fox News’ New Year’s Eve show in 2015, before he was elected. Trump is in the White House, while First Lady Melania Trump vacations at Mar-a-Lago.

BREAKING: House Democrats have prepared six bills that would reopen the government. They plan to pass all of them on Thursday night. It is then up to the Trump and the Republican Party to do their jobs, for once. It does not include any funding for a wall. Not one dime. Good.

Reporter catches Trump in a bald-faced lie about being in the Oval Office



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/busted-reporter-catches-trump-bald-faced-lie-oval-office/

President Donald Trump on Monday morning claimed that he was sitting inside the Oval Office waiting for Democrats to come to him with a deal for funding his proposed border wall.

“I’m in the Oval Office,” the president wrote. “Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall.”

However, Playboy White House correspondent Brian Karem was at the White House on Monday and he caught the president blatantly lying about being in the Oval Office.

Specifically, Karem noticed that there is currently no Marine standing guard outside the Oval Office door, which means that Trump is simply not where he said he was.

“No marine there so that’s another lie,” Karem remarked.

Lindsey Graham outside WH just now after lunch w/Trump: "We had a great lunch. We talked about Syria. He told me some things I didn’t know that made me feel a lot better about where we’re headed in Syria."
