    The President told the country that he would be "proud" to shut down the government. Now he is pointing fingers at everyone but himself. The key to ending the shutdown is in his hands. With his support, the Senate could pass legislation to end this shutdown. —

  2. The key to ending the shutdown is in President Trump’s hands. With his support, the Senate could move immediately to pass the House’s bipartisan legislation. I gave the Weekly Democratic Address to talk about how it’s time to end this government shutdown once and for all.

  3. The House has passed two bills to fully open the government. Now the Senate should pass them immediately. Many Senate Republicans have already voted for these funding levels but McConnell so far refuses to allow a vote. Tell him to stop bowing to Trump and let democracy work!

  5. Last night and I talked about how the House will pass a bill today to end the shutdown. The Senate should do the same. But McConnell is doing the President’s bidding and holding the government hostage. Republicans must stop playing games and fund our government.

  7. This past year, I’ve seen Marylanders from all walks of life come together to spread a message that is both timeless and urgent: one of hope, decency, and unity. Let’s summon that human spirit as we refresh our democracy & renew our country in 2019. Happy New Year, Maryland!

  8. This shutdown isn’t enough for Trump. His pay freeze for civil servants is going into effect—while hundreds of thousands of them are furloughed or working without pay. I’m pushing for a 1.9% COLA on the appropriations bill, and I won’t stop until we get it done.

  9. On behalf of the Van Hollen family, Happy Holidays! We hope you’ll find time to rest, reflect, and rejuvenate as we head into 2019. And for those of you who cannot be with your families—including many of our troops—we express our gratitude and wish you a safe holiday season.

  10. President Trump clearly is not only allergic to the truth, but has fits when other people stand up to him to tell the truth—like Jim Mattis and Bob Corker. Scary times for the country when the president hates the truth.

  11. The Trump Tax Plan—signed one year ago—did nothing to boost workers’ real wages. The promised $4,000 pay hikes never materialized. And now, a year later, Trump is furloughing more than 380,000 federal employees right before the holidays. This is Trump World.

  12. President Trump kowtowed to Putin. Now he's taking orders from Erdogan to withdraw our forces from Syria so Turkey can attack the Kurds—our key ally in the fight against ISIS. While Trump shuts down the government, he has undermined our national security once again.

  13. The government just shut down because the President threw a temper tantrum to satisfy conservative talking heads, and Republicans let him get away with it. This is not normal and will hurt both our government and our economy. Congressional Republicans need to stop this madness.

  14. The government shuts down at midnight. I gave an update to on the latest in our fight to keep the government open and ensure that federal employees are not punished for political dysfunction they had nothing to do with!

  15. Just got back. The Senate has passed our bill to make sure our federal workforce will still get paid if there's a shutdown. The House should pass it immediately. But there doesn’t need to shutdown. President Trump and Republicans must put politics aside and fund our government.

    Undo
  16. On the Senate floor with to ask McConnell to bring our bill to guarantee back pay for furloughed federal workers to a vote. Federal workers deserve to know that if the Trump Shutdown happens they won’t be punished.

  17. President Trump said he would be “proud” to shut down the government. Now, as always, he wants to duck responsibility. He'll sow chaos across the country—all because he couldn’t keep his promise that Mexico—not taxpayers—would pay for his stupid wall. I'm coming back to vote NO.

    Paul Ryan should be ashamed that in his final act as Speaker he has again become a pawn of President Trump. Why not allow a vote on a bipartisan Senate bill and let democracy work in the House? Why do the President’s bidding? This is a cowardly way to govern.
