These programs are expired because of their choice to end them, and at any point since they ended there could have been a bipartisan bill on the floor to renew each one. It was promised it would happen by GOP leadership. Instead, though, they did nothing about it. They lied, they kicked the can down the road to politicize the issue.

Then, we actually have a bipartisan solution offered to keep the government open and do all the things. Durbin and Graham hammer it out, they had support enough to pass both chambers, and Trump reneges on his previous statements because he has Santa Monica fascist Steve Miller in his ear.

This is what I have said over and over this weekend.  

I understand the people who want to blame "both sides" but this is a manufactured shutdown.  It could have EASILY been avoided except one side didn't want to do that.

Bottom line.
