Thank you Senator Warren! U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren  — US Senator for Massachusetts   Washington  ·  It’s been over 100 days since Donald Trump ended protection for Dreamers – 800,000 young people who are part of our American family. It’s been over 100 days since funding for community health centers lapsed. It’s been over 100 days since hurricanes ravaged Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico – and Congress still hasn’t provided enough funding for disaster relief. For over 100 days, Republicans have refused to fix any of these issues, and today’s stopgap spending bill just kicks the can further down the road. We don't need new promises. We need new laws and real solutions.

MORNING MESSAGE Richard Eskow Death by Inequality: Poverty and Racism Are Killing America’s Children A new report concludes 600,000 American children have died for no reason over 50 years. Thousands more will die this year, and next year, and the year after that. This is our nations real “death tax”: It’s a tax on poverty, race, and powerlessness. It’s paid with the lives of our innocents. Government Shutdown Enters Third Day Government shutdown goes into Monday as Senate inches toward deal. NYT: “Senators failed on Sunday to reach an agreement to end the government shutdown, ensuring that hundreds of thousands of federal employees would be furloughed Monday morning even as the outlines of a potential compromise came into focus. For much of the day, feverish work by a bipartisan group of senators offered a reason for cautious optimism that a deal could be reached soon. By Sunday night, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, moved to delay until noon M...
