But the largest federal employees union has asked the Democrats to do just what I have said: to just give into the Republicans and a "clean" CR.
They are absolutely smart enough to know exactly what that means and don't care.

Their letter asking Dems to do just that is dangerous and reckless. But here we are. It puts Democrats in a very awkward situation because allows Republicans to have a brand new talking point to beat up Democrats.
