Phone with senator durbin, i was thrilled. He invited senators durbin and graham to the white house. But the hard right attacked again. A meeting that could have ended in a bipartisan handshake instead devolved into one of the most infamous meetings of his presidency. But still, we went back to work. Excuse me, i have a cold. But still, we went back to work to strike a deal with the president. Yesterday i talked to the president in the morning. We were not far apart on the issues. A deal to Fund Military and critical programs for the middle class can be struck. We agreed to the contours of that deal. An immigration deal was then reached. We could address Childrens Health insurance, other health issues, disaster aid. We went to the meeting and had a long and productive discussion. I told the president we democrats were willing to fund the military at the highest levels in history. Far above even his budget request. I reluctantly put his wall request for the southern bothered on the tab

Quick. Yesterday, i guess, the group of House Republicans put out a, an immigration plan that would deal with daca and also do a whole lot of things that werent kind of under the umbrella of the four things outlined in the meeting yesterday. Was that helpful . Was that not helpful . To getting to a deal ultimately . Does the president wish that they you know, take that off the table so you can focus on what might be happening with senator flake or others in the senate . How does no. We think thats a great starting point. We think a great place went beyond the parameters that the president specifically and you later he let out the things he felt had to be included. Not just what could be included. Certainly we think that this is a good starting point. Part of the negotiation process. If we could get everything done we think thats much better than part of it done, but were okay with getting a deal done as long as it falls into the parameters that the president laid out. But he understand
For the Childrens Health Insurance Program but some factions and smaller groups may actually get in the way and you have the conservative caucus that wants more money to the Defense Department while democrats feel pressure from the hispanic caucus to make sure any includes a deal for d.

I feel it makes no sense for democrats to try and bring us to a shutdown, to cut off funding for the States Running out of money like minnesota and washington and kentucky and other states.
