Updates:
-
Schumer and Pelosi offered a 2 trillion dollar compromise and Meadows and Mnuchin refused it before even talking specifics. Mnuchin and Meadows created the stall and then said they’d be pushing Trump to make executive orders because of the stall.
-
Senators and Representatives have been sent home on their recess, but “will be called back for a vote”. This is infuriating; it completely ignores the urgency of the issue. Congress needs to be in DC feeling the heat, just like the American public.
-
Trump spent the day golfing in New Jersey and then gave a press conference at 7pm where he read a script threatening executive orders. The EO threats do mean he is feeling the pressure. Keep it up.
