Chuck Schumer? @SenSchumer 6h6 hours ago
The nation can breathe a sigh of relief. We've agreed to help those recovering from Hurricane Harvey, avoid default, & avoid a shutdown.

1. I have had a long day and I don't understand what is going on.

[bigtree]

3. Trump and republicans fold on debt ceiling

...which Democrats threatened to tie together with Harvey relief.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to WH for talks w/Trump today...

6. Thanks - I think I just need to process this.. It can't be that simple.

7. we'll see tomorrow

...republicans are shell-shocked tonight.

10. I bet they are!

11. I'm not a bit surprised

that any benefit for the American people will come from Democrats. 45 just wants a "win", he really doesn't care how he gets it.

I'm 100% "blue" and have been sick with grief since our President's last day in office (in January), but right now - living in Orlando with a huge hurricane coming at me, states engulfed in flames, states flooded, Dreamers in jeopardy, a debt ceiling that needs to be raised (i work for the VA and we depend on government funding to take care of our Veterans) - I don't care and frankly don't begrudge 45's "win" because (a) its because of Democrats and (b) because it will benefit Americans.

Democrats lead
Democrats govern
Democrats care

16. McConnell, Ryan, Mnuchin object? That's a GOOD thing.

Since when have those cretins ever wanted to do anything good for the people?

2. Do it quick before he changes his mind and denies everything

[Heartstrings]

4. There's going to a tweet

shitstorm tomorrow morning!

And a complete 360....sign it now!

[Brother Buzz]

5. 360?

[Grassy Knoll]

8. Lol, Lil Eddie Was Visibly Upset..

13. omg

this made me giggle!

[TheBlackAdder]

9. Even Dolt 45 knows what happens when you default on a bank note. They send cossacks after you.

[progressoid]

12. That's quite a shot.

One heck of a long lens.

[bigtree]

14. isn't it, though?

...award-winning potential, I think.

So much in one pic.

17. There must be millions of heads just flat out exploding tonight

Trump cuts the legs out from under the people who have sustained uncalculated long term political damage to support him only to have him make Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi the cats that ate the Canary.

So the republicans will have to vote twice for things their Nazi(Godwin's law suspended after C-ville) supporter cannot stand.

If the Democratic party can stick together, and yes raise enough money, we can start slowly turning this thing around. It will not be one fell swoop, but slowly winning back state seats and finally house seats.

The one lesson we should learn is that being an ideologue snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. A moderate Democrat beats the hell out of a moderate republican. Especially in the South or Midwest. The republicans should have by now pushed their entire regressive, racist agenda down our throats. But they have become a party of ideologues incapable of compromise. We just cannot allow ourselves to make the same mistake.

Have a nice evening.
