单集简介 ...

The longest government shutdown in American history ended last week, thanks to 8 Senate Democrats giving up the fight to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies. The infighting between Democrats hasn't stopped since. But what if Democrats' caving was actually a good thing? Tim Miller of the Bulwark joins the show to discuss how the Democrats may be in a prime strategic position as Republicans deal with scandals, skyrocketing costs of living and healthcare, and several MAGA faithful turning on Trump. And in headlines: President Trump sends federal agents to Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of his ongoing immigration crackdown, Marjorie Taylor Greene continues feuding with Trump, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announces a new gas deal with Greece.

  • It's Monday, November 17th.

  • I'm Jane Costin, and this is What A Day, the show that has some questions for a dog in Shillington,

  • Pennsylvania who appears to have accidentally shot its owner in the back last week when his owner put a shotgun on a bed

  • while cleaning it.

  • Or maybe not so accidentally.

  • According to police quote, it looks like it was an accident, but it's still being investigated.

  • Is anyone listening to the show a dog attorney?

  • On today's show, Charlotte,

  • North Carolina is the Trump administration's latest target in the crackdown on illegal immigration.

  • And President Donald Trump makes his breakup with Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene public.

  • But let's start with the Democratic Party.

  • The longest government shutdown in American history ended on Wednesday after eight Senate Democrats agreed to a budget package.

  • And the in-fighting between Democrats who wanted to keep fighting

  • for extended Affordable Care Act subsidies and Democrats who wanted to end the shutdown hasn't stopped

  • since.

  • And much of the blame for the end of the shutdown,

  • as in, Democrats caving, has landed on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

  • Here's Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy discussing Schumer with ABC's Jonathan Carl on Sunday.

  • Chuck Schumer's taking a lot of heat for this.

  • Do you still have confidence in him as the Democratic leader?
