    Federal employees didn't cause this shutdown and they shouldn't be punished for it. As we work to end the shutdown, @SenatorCardin and I supported a motion to ensure that these employees would be paid in full after the shutdown. Shameful that McConnell objected to the motion.pic.twitter.com/sqW561LqnA

        I’m a federal employee. How about come to an agreement tonight so there is no need to vote for us to get paid. #ShumerShutdown needs to end. You’re all acting like children.

        How about voting for the CR on Friday? Think about your constituents who are federal employees. You turned your back on them.

        McConnell turned his back on federal employees when he refused to allow a floor vote on a bill paying federal employees during the #TrumpShutdown.

        Are you guys going to donate your salary so these hard-working employees don't lose their houses or get final noticed on their bills?

        Lest we forget that the dems did the same thing in 2013. And listen to the full story behind it. Stop with only giving the facts that make you look good. http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4710181/senator-mcconnell-objects-military-pay-protection …

        Also, let's not forget federal contractors. They work alongside us (feds) and work just as hard. #shutdown2018

        This #FurloughedFed thanks you and @SenatorCardin. I'm sure my coworkers would be in unanimous agreement. Happy that you are MD Senators.
