Watching the sea of humanity descending on downtown Chicago today, it occurred to me that one undeniable achievement of @realDonaldTrump is that he has ignited a determined movement that is likely to be the political story of 2018.#TrumpShutdown #WomensMarch2018
Republican Rep. Patrick Meehan, who has taken a leading role in fighting sexual harassment in Congress, used thousands in taxpayer $$ to settle his own misconduct complaint after a former aide accused him of making unwanted romantic overtures, NYT reports. https://t.co/0snfUTPWgO
Remember when pundits used to insist that Obama could make a bipartisan deal with Republicans if only he really wanted to — the so-called Green Lantern theory? Trump really can have a deal any time he wants one. He just doesn't.

I was on the fence about the Dems holding out because of DACA. Chris Hayes did a tweet saying that the GOP wants to deport all the Dreamers, but won’t come out and admit it. I realize that he is.absolutely correct. And, those stories that we post, here and there.. doing it to DACA would put it Front and Center for many Americans who don’t read those stores like we do. They want the Dems to do the dirty work for them. To that I SAY HELL NO 😠
We will not abandon these young people.
Forgive me if this has already been posted here but it’s worth repeating:
McConnell asks “how did we get here?” Here’s why Mitch- because you and your party don’t give a damn about DACA kids. And don’t forget your party has left CHIP kids without health coverage for months because YOU decided not to fund the program.Hypocrite.Trump shutdown is on you
John Carman was an Atlantic County freeholder. Last year he made a sexist joke to mock the women's march. He also wore a patch of NJ with the confederate flag covering the southern half of the state. In November he lost his seat to a black woman https://t.co/KOtnMDpYUU

I was reading on a different site that turnout for the marches wasn’t big but looking at these pictures, it looks like a pretty impressive turnout to me.
Amazing … the sign by the little girl about her generation tearing down walls really made me teary.
Why are GOPigs such scared little idiots? They are fighting a losing battle.
On CNN yesterday, voters in Iowa were interviewed, all were older white men. Other than a couple who still supported PP, the rest made comments like, it’s going to take another PBO to fix the country, the stock market surge is because of PBO … can’t remember the rest but they were basically praising PBO.

“NPS official shutdown announcement:
Important Notice to Park Visitors
Due to the lapse in federal appropriations, the National Park Service (NPS) is unable to fully staff the properties under its management. It is not feasible to close or otherwise prohibit all access to NPS properties. Park visitors are advised to use extreme caution if choosing to enter NPS property, as NPS personnel will not be available to provide guidance, assistance, maintenance, or emergency response. Any entry onto NPS property during this period of federal government shutdown is at the visitor’s sole risk. #ThanksTrump“
National Park Shutdown Update (Please Read):
Park superintendents have the discretion to close areas on a case-by-case basis for the purpose of protecting public safety or natural resources. This means that certain parks, park entrances, or areas of a park may be closed by a locked gate. If you decide to attempt a visit to a national park, make sure you have a backup plan.
1) NPS won’t operate its 401 sites. NPS has stopped providing visitor services and facilities are locked. Visitor centers, restrooms, trash collection, visitor information, educational programs, and permits are not available.
2) Roads that go through or around national parks remain open, but won’t be maintained (including no plowing). For mountain pass conditions, check with the Washington Department of Transportation.
3) NPS won’t operate campgrounds. NPS won’t provide services, and facilities are locked including restrooms, showers, check-in/check-out, reservations and trash collection.
4) NPS websites and social media won’t be maintained, and there won’t be updates on road or trail conditions.
5) At the park superintendent’s discretion, individual parks may close sensitive areas that are vulnerable to natural resource damage or looting.“
I feel concerned the shooters and killers may take this as an opportunity to go into the wildness places to kill wildlife wintering in what are usually safe areas. Animals know. Long ago, living in Banff National Park, wardens documented how the moose, elk, deer, bears, all of them, would come inside the park boundaries once the hunting season started up outside the parks.
