My two Senators, Kaine and Warner, both voted for the CR and I am fine with that. Virginia has 8.4 million people and suffers greatly from government shutdowns. I ain't no fancy big city mathematician, but I believe 8.4 million constituents is more than the 800k DREAMers all throughout the country. Voting in the best interests of their constituents is the job of an elected official. People with their pet policy topics really tend to annoy me.

I wish I had more weight on Twitter, I would totally like to get into it with Ezra Klein right now.

lol, first they came for the Dreamers . . .
