Monday came and went, uneventfully in our lives. We woke up at about 10:00 and had a smoothie breakfast. I downloaded the NFL games to an external drive to watch. We could watch them on YouTube but they insert commercials several times during a highlight video and I don't like the interruptions in the game. Our favorite team lost again but that was good because it increased the position for the NFL draft once the season ends
.As US congressional negotiators worked deep into the weekend in a bid to craft an urgent deal linking aid to Ukraine and Israel to new border security, one top Democrat said he was "very optimistic" about a resolution.
"I'm very encouraged. I'm very optimistic they're moving in a very positive way," Senator Joe Manchin, a centrist Democrat, told CNN's "State of the Union."
He said he had been in touch with negotiators from both parties, as well as the White House, and "they understand that the border is broken" and needs to be fixed.
Three Senate negotiators -- independent Kyrsten Sinema, Democrat Chris Murphy and Republican James Lankford -- met Saturday and were to meet again Sunday in search of a compromise that would also include aid for Taiwan.
All three cited progress after the Saturday talks, Politico reported.
Poniedzia艂ek nadszed艂 i min膮艂, bez wi臋kszych zmian w naszym 偶yciu. Obudzili艣my si臋 oko艂o 10:00 i zjedli艣my 艣niadanie w formie smoothie. Pobra艂em mecze NFL na dysk zewn臋trzny, by je obejrze膰. Mogliby艣my ogl膮da膰 je na YouTube, ale wstawiaj膮 reklamy kilka razy w trakcie najwa偶niejszego filmu, a ja nie lubi臋 przerw w grze. Nasza ulubiona dru偶yna zn贸w przegra艂a, ale to dobrze, poniewa偶 zwi臋kszy艂o to pozycj臋 w drafcie NFL po zako艅czeniu sezonu
Podczas gdy ameryka艅scy negocjatorzy kongresowi pracowali g艂臋boko w weekend, pr贸buj膮c zawrze膰 piln膮 umow臋 艂膮cz膮c膮 pomoc dla Ukrainy i Izraela z nowym bezpiecze艅stwem granic, jeden z czo艂owych Demokrat贸w powiedzia艂, 偶e jest "bardzo optymistyczny" co do rozwi膮zania.
Jestem bardzo podbudowany. Jestem bardzo optymistyczny, 偶e posuwaj膮 si臋 w bardzo pozytywny spos贸b" - powiedzia艂 senator Joe Manchin, centrowy Demokrata, w programie CNN "State of the Union".
Powiedzia艂, 偶e by艂 w kontakcie z negocjatorami z obu partii, a tak偶e z Bia艂ym Domem i "rozumiej膮, 偶e granica jest zepsuta" i musi zosta膰 naprawiona.
Trzech senackich negocjator贸w - niezale偶na Kyrsten Sinema, Demokrata Chris Murphy i Republikanin James Lankford - spotka艂o si臋 w sobot臋 i mia艂o spotka膰 si臋 ponownie w niedziel臋 w poszukiwaniu kompromisu, kt贸ry obejmowa艂by r贸wnie偶 pomoc dla Tajwanu.
Wszyscy trzej wymieniali post臋py po sobotnich rozmowach, donosi Politico.
