JokersUpdates.com: Current Affairs - Dem leadership gets a lot of **** for a lot of things. But, they navigated the shutdown as well as you would have wanted. I mean the long lines and strife the actual TSA employees and travelers have

faced this whole time and still holding the line on shutdown asks. They didn't capitulate to the earlier GOP "deal" trying to get them to pay for "some" of ICE and deal with reforms 'later' Which we all know was bs.

Also if you look at polling they have still managed to for the most part avoid the smear campaign by GOP to blame Democrats. The messaging has been pretty clear and it seems like most regular people arent being so hoodwinked. I have seen a huge social media campaign and most Congressional Dems have clearly stated all over their social media platforms over and over how many times and how many clean TSA funding bills have been rejected by GOP till now.

They have done as much as can be expected without actually having power to leverage the will of the American people against ICE and wanting reforms. They need to keep strong on messaging and keep on message about the things they want done when they actually get power in midterms.

Hopefully the No Kings Protests this weekend can help carry more of that message.
