Congressional Democratic leaders told media that convicted felon President Trump seemed more open to a deal to keep the government open than Republicans did, per Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman from the scene as Chuck Schumer, John Thune, Hakeem Jeffries, and Mike Johnson exited the high-stakes meeting on Monday. “There were multiple times where Leader Jeffries or Leader Schumer would say, ‘You know what, we should be doing this,’ and the president of the United States would say, ‘Yeah, absolutely. Let’s have that conversation, but we’re going to do it in the context of the people’s government being open,'” said Jaydee himself to reporters after he left the Oval Office.

Unmentioned is the fact that you don’t need to buy $50 billion worth of mouse traps and cats if one side can agree to simply not let 50 billion mice loose to chew up rural hospitals.
