if you read no other article from Politico this year, this is the one that is a popcorn-ready, blowup-by-blowup, exploding-heads gem of a read of what Dems were doing today, while on the other side of the aisle, the Reps quietly celebrated finally getting some disaster relief aid passed.
Enjoy!
I watched both debates in their entirety ... shocking and saddening.
They're NOT shocked, horrified, saddened, troubled, etc. etc. They're on stage emoting. That's all.
The Demonrats are coming apart at the seams. I love it!

more drama before the vote today: According to the daily mail:
House Republicans, in a great display of theater, lined up on the House floor Thursday morning to ask the chamber take up the Senate bill for a vote.
They all gave some same version of the legislative request: ‘I asked unanimous consent to take the speaker’s from the speaker’s table HR 341 with the Senate amendment there to and concur in the Senate amendment. This bipartisan bill passed the Senate with 84 votes and could be sent to the president’s desk for his signature today.’
One by one they made a motion only to be denied by Democratic Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee of Texas, who was presiding over the chamber.
