The brave Democrats and Independent who didnt buy McConnells promise

Only 15 Democrats held out today.

Blumenthal, Booker, Cortez-Masto, Feinstein, Gillibrand, Harris, Hirono, Leahy, Menendez, Merkley, Murphy, Sanders, Tester, Warren, Wyden.

It's about moral courage.

And as soon as the remaining Dems voted with the Rs — it was announced that Trump wouldn’t sign the bi-partisan Graham-Durbin bill per WH spokesperson on CNN.

Meanwhile 2000 more Dreamers lose status between now and Feb 8.

...and you can take that to the bank, apparently!!!

Good for Feinstein though. She's not usually reliable when it comes to anything controversial. The rest all make sense though and good for them.
