Senate recesses until Jan 29th

[Recursion]

TSA will last one more missed paycheck, tops. The USCG Pacific Fleet is already straining. Microbreweries are having to throw out entire batches of wort. Section 8 eviction proceedings have started and in some states can begin a lockout on February 1st.

Mitch McConnell needs to go to jail.

1. They shouldn't get paid if they are going on recess

3. Why do they get another full week off? They should not get paid..nt

[Shell_Seas]

4. Are you serious?

Why would they even do that?

[Recursion]

5. I'm honestly questioning McConnell's mental health at this point

I don't see how he's gaining anything from this

[Shell_Seas]

7. What was that I read not too long ago? About McConnell's donations from Russians?

[gratuitous]

6. MLK Day holiday observance

Naturally, any liberals or progressives who object can expect to be taunted about being racist and stuff by conservatives, Republicans and other racists.

It does raise the question why McDonald was so anxious to keep Speaker Pelosi in the country to negotiate with him when the Senate was taking another well-earned week off? Or maybe he was just feeling embarrassed because Pelosi was making another trip to the Afghanistan war zone, while he hasn't been there at all, halfway through his term.

[RainCaster]

9. The TSA should not allow any Senator to travel until there is a budget

A quick update to the no-fly list is in order

10. Have a feeling the Republicans will get an earful from their constituents when they get home

[keithbvadu2]

11. No 'earfuls' if they hide from their constituents... no town halls.

12. The repigs wanted this to happen

Period. so many of Americans are hurting.

Anyone watching Rachel?

On Chris Hayes show tonight, with the shutdown may bring on a National disaster, because we don't have essential people in place.
I am wary about air travel right now and if this is dragging into another month.

I truly believe the repigs are compromised and will drag this on to protect themselves and blame the Democrats like they usually do.

14. Moscow Mitch does Putin's bidding

Moscow Mitch and the Russiapublicans in the Senate voted to make Deripaska and Putin richer while refusing to pay U.S. workers.

Can it be any clearer?
