On the one hand Democrats want the government back open and have voted to do so. On the other hand MS13 arglebargle slats wall caravan. So, both sides.

The ratio doesn't lie.
AP FACT CHECK: Democrats put the blame for the shutdown on Trump. But it takes two to tango. Trump's demand for $5.7 billion for his border wall is one reason for the budget impasse. The Democrats refusal to approve the money is another. apne.ws/Ar1Kxzw

Dear Neighbours,
We have kidnapped your bird. He'll be safely returned to you on impeachment day. We believe this is in everyone's best interest.

I just saw a man pick up and carry 2 (TWO) golden retrievers. Large ones. One on each shoulder. He was saying, “You always do this. You SAID you wanted to go for a walk!” as he picked them up.
...dang.
NBC News has learned Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg voted FROM HER HOSPITAL BED to refuse to let the government enforce Pres. Trump's proposed restriction on asylum. The court voted 5-4 to leave a lower court ruling in place that blocks enforcement of the crackdown. @PeteWilliamsNBC
“In 2018, journalists took note of what people said, and of what people did. When those two things differed, they took note of that too. The year brought no great change in what they do or how they do it. What changed was how much it matters.” – at Honolulu, HI

Hillary and I mourn the passing of President George H. W. Bush, and give thanks for his great long life of service, love and friendship. I am grateful for every minute I spent with him and will always hold our friendship as one of my life’s greatest gifts. bit.ly/2Q2bohL
Every episode is worth a listen, but this one — and this segment, in particular — is just striking. Trust me, it’s worth a few minutes this Thanksgiving week to learn about the seed potatoes of Leningrad. – at Honolulu, HI
As you eat your mashed potatoes and gravy this week, remember to be thankful for the seed potatoes of Leningrad. @johngreen tells you all about them and rates them out of five this week on The Anthropocene Reviewed. wnyc.news/b2f6j

Two beautiful pictures: Asian Americans swung left harder than any other racial group in the 2018 midterms, and now vote more like black voters than any group other than black voters.
Over 80% of GA Asians voted for Stacey Abrams—just short of the 92% of black voters who did. – at Ladera Heights, CA

Just hit me that the House Science Committee will, for the first time in nearly a decade, be led by someone who accepts mainstream climate science
