House R’s are back Monday. Dems should offer CR to 2/13 to work our new DHS rules. Very brief shutdown. Dems should offer to sunset new rules on 9/30/26 . After all, R’s may want to keep the issue alive.

I thought public contracts were also public documents. So where is the sale contract for the Venezuela oil Trump “sold”. Did anyone from Venezuela sign it ? This isn’t a national security issue, it’s an oil deal.

American policy: - Trump taxes American consumers to make them stop buying Chinese goods - china stops buying soybeans from America and instead buys from Argentina; - trump now wants to pay Argentina $20 billion; - finally trump says he’ll pay corporate farmers $10 billion.

The fact that Jake Tapper could only get Pence to come in and discuss the Anchorage meeting tells you all the other republicans were unwilling to pretend Trump’s meeting was anything other than a failure. Where were Graham, Wicker, Thune and all the others?

Section 2 of the 14th amendment allows the House to reduce the delegation from any State that denies residents the right to vote. This punishes states who deny voters from election participation. How is what Texas wants to do any different since no democrat can elect a candidate of their choice?

We all understand the Dems have limited tools so here’s a thought. Announce today that Dems will only vote for a $500 billion debt increase subject to Musk testifying and documenting what he’s done. Tell the R’s there will be conditions in debt bill.Then rinse/repeat. Senate dems most critical here.

You are up to date.
