Trump reminds Dems he's in the WH if they want to 'work to end the shutdown,' but here's where many of them are

In a morning tweet, President Trump reminded Dems that he was in the White House any time they wanted to come and negotiate to end the shutdown:

Democrats should come back to Washington and work to end the Shutdown, while at the same time ending the horrible humanitarian crisis at our Southern Border. I am in the White House waiting for you!

For many Dems, they might not have been in a mood to go back to snowy DC, considering their weekend plans:

While the government shutdown drags on, dozens of Congressional Democrats are staying at $289/night hotel in Puerto Rico this weekend and watching $350/ticket showings of Hamilton. https://t.co/9dhcbqg0hR pic.twitter.com/dPe9TxfNmE

But it doesn’t look like the trip consisted entirely of meetings in stuffy conference rooms:

They’re obviously talking about what to do about the shutdown. But the weather looks great!
