There’s growing chatter about the Senate staying through the weekend and next week as they try to get closer to hammering out an agreement. KYRSTEN SINEMA (I-Ariz.) responded to Democratic criticisms of “unimaginably cruel” GOP immigration proposals, by telling NBC’s Julie Tsirkin, Rebecca Shabad and Frank Thorp V that “what’s unimaginably cruel are the folks and the images that we see of folks and families sitting in the desert.” SUPPLEMENTAL NEGOTIATIONS - In the Senate, meantime, negotiators hashing out a Ukraine/immigration policy deal kept up a “flurry of meetings” today, per Burgess Everett, including Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER in Minority Leader MITCH McCONNELL’s office.

We have developed a survival, single ventricle, large animal model that we are currently using to test different strategies for mechanical circulatory support.
