AOC is becoming an interesting wildcard with her twitter base and popularity as well as being the youngest female legislator ever. I believe today she started teaching fellow members how to use twitter. I'd prefer if the House passed a bill that included comprehensive immigration reform with smart border security and DACA protection and dropped it on McConnells desk after passage in the House. Then have AOC and others go out and sell it. Force the Senate and Trump to come towards the House.

Here is the freshman AOC on the shutdown. "The truth of this shutdown is that it is not actually about a wall, it is not about the border, and it is certainly not about the well-being of everyday Americans. The truth is, this shutdown is about the erosion of American democracy and the subversion of our most basic governmental norms. It is not normal to hold 800,000 workers’ paychecks hostage. It is not normal to shut down the government when we don’t get what we want. It is not normal for public servants to run away and hide from the public that they serve. And it is certainly not normal to starve the people we serve for a proposal that is wildly unpopular among the American people." (via DC Tribune)
