Congress Reaches Historic Bipartisan Agreement on Infrastructure

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

The White House has publicly brushed off the outrage over Trump’s aggressive crackdown on immigration with the same steely indifference it deployed last year as it refused to bend to public opinion backing those Obamacare subsidies. But Trump allies have beseeched his advisers to pare back the over-the-top efforts in Minnesota before they completely turn off voters heading into midterm elections that Republicans are already bracing to go badly. Even inside the MAGAverse, there is a queasiness over a Trumpist show that now has a tangible bodycount. Yes, Trump has long had strong public support to tighten the border and to deport violent criminals but he does not have anywhere near that support to storm communities with armed agents carrying no ID or warrants.

So as Washington barrels toward another shutdown—it’s second in four months—the question of whether Democrats are making the smart play depends on whether the last one was deemed successful for the minority party.
