Our economy. Heres a snapshot of the last Government Shutdown. This occurred between the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 on trumps watch. A stretfo 34 days, 300,000 Government Workers were furloughed and. It costs our economy 11 billion dollars. Its not Monopoly Money, folks. Its not Monopoly Money to republicans who think that we have too much debt in the country, 11 Trillion Dollars for no particular reason, seems foolhardy. I should not be complicated. Funding the government is a basic power given to congress in the constitution. Its one of the few things that the United States constitution actually says that congress has to do it, its not optional.

Prolife moniker for something else. Senator todd young of indiana summarize the meeting as being focused on, quote, pro baby policies. When all when all in starts, right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. There have been major breaking developments tonight out of georgia. Tonight a federal judge in atlanta rejected mark meadows a chance to move his r. I. C. O. Conspiracy georgia case to federal court. The criminal defendant and former Trump White House Chief Of Staff was the first one to try this move, to move his case out of Fulton County to washington, d. C. Now the same prosecutors remain on the case, but he would get a new jury pool, probably be more likely to draw from areas that donald trump won, and also a new judge.
