Senior administration officials expect @realDonaldTrump to endorse short-term funding bill to reopen government in next hour. Final details being worked out in WH convos now. Unclear if 2 or 3 weeks. Border debate will continue. Stress on Govt systems was increasing.

More optimism in the Capitol that the shutdown is coming to an end. Trump will speak, then McConnell will speak. And several Dems believe Trump has effectively caved

Dems say the deal will include a stop-gap measure until February 15 to reopen the government, and then they will try to cut a border security deal as part of the Homeland Security funding bill in a House-Senate conference. There's no wall money. Furloughed workers get backpay

Pelosi, asked how Trump will handle backdown on reopening government without wall money, gestures toward her office decorations: “we could plant these flowers along the border and he’d say, ‘I got my wall.’ “

The American people wait with bated breath as their idiot president announces something he could have done 35 days ago to avoid this national disgrace of a shutdown. The Art of the Deal.

Trump says he's "very proud" there's a deal to reopen the government. He says he has a "very powerful alternative" that he doesn't want to use "at this time," referring to declaring a national emergency at border.

Bruh, she won and still ain’t letting up. Like, Trump in the Rose Garden waiving the white flag. Pelosi took the white flag and started beating Trump ass with it some more.

A former White House official texts me, unsolicited: “Trump looks pathetic...he just ceded his presidency to Nancy Pelosi.”
