I was watching the senate on television last night as the clock struck midnight EST and the federal government closed down.  Democratic senator Chuck Schumer said he thought he had brokered a deal with the president only to find out later in the day that it had been broken.  So the "trumpshutdown" has begun over several programs that the Republicans closed down including DACA and CHIPS.

Then today I saw some Republican senator on the news crying about how he couldn't believe how terrible the Democrats are being when the very lives of children are at stake.  Politics can be so shitty.  I don't know how the politicians on both sides can look themselves in the mirror.
