Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where heās advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing itās a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

The U.S. Dept. of Labor workforce campaign looks like it was plucked from a white supremacist mood board circa 1938 Nazi Germany, with blond āheroicā laborers, industrial backdrops & duty slogans. The message of exclusion is clear: women & nonwhite workers need not apply. This is a white mans world.
