  1. Which of the following is true: Mexico will pay for the wall The trade agreement with Mexico will pay for the wall Thousands of terrorists cross the border each year Trump can build the wall by declaring a national emergency Trump makes 15 false statements per day on average

  2. Attention Senator McConnell: It is time to re-open the government. The House just passed funding bills the Senate already supported. Hundreds of thousands of workers are going without pay. It is time to put country over loyalty to Trump. It is time to show leadership.

  3. Kirk, thanks for sharing Loujain and Fahad’s story with me. Devastating, and it needs to be told. They’ll be in my thoughts, and more than that, we need to put our values front and center in our foreign policy. I’ll be contacting the Saudi Ambassador about her case.

    Here's what we did on our first day: ✓ Voted to reopen the government. ✓ Swore in most diverse Congress ever. Here's what we're doing next: ✓ Protecting healthcare. ✓ Fighting climate change. ✓ Holding Trump accountable. ✓ Tackling corruption.

    At this critical time in our history I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee. And I'm mindful of the great responsibility that goes with it. We will do our constitutional duty, and put the rule of law and our nation's security first.

    For two years, the Republican Majority refused to hold the Trump Administration accountable. That ends today. We will do our jobs. We will work to raise incomes and help all families succeed. We will protect healthcare. And we will do vital oversight. Now, let's get to work.

    Who needs General Mattis when you are such an accomplished student of military history?

  9. What Trump said then: Mexico will pay for the wall. I promise. I am proud to shut down the government for border security. I will be the one to shut it down. What he says now: Taxpayers must pay for the wall. The Democrats own the shutdown. Promise made. Promises broken.

  10. This is how the House Republican effort to undermine Mueller by “investigating the investigators” ends. Not with a bang, but with a Friday, buried-in-the-holidays whimper, and one foot out the door.

  11. All government workers in the affected agencies are impacted, Mr. President. Both Democrats and Republicans. Their car payments, rent and mortgage payments, food and medicine bills do not distinguish by party. Your ill-considered shutdown hurts them all.

  12. For the second time in as many months, a child has died in the custody of border control authorities. Felipe Gómez Alonzo was only 8 years old. We will investigate this tragic death and that of Jakelin Caal Maquin, but the Administration’s cruel border policy needs to end. Now.

  13. To all who are celebrating today, wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas. Here’s hoping you have a safe and joyous holiday with your friends and loved ones.

  14. I am pleased to announce that our very talented (fill in the blank) will assume the duties of the more talented (fill in the blank) until they are in turned replaced by the still less talented (fill in the blank). He will be great!

  15. Ethics officials recommended Whitaker recuse himself from the Mueller investigation. He refused. Now any decision he makes is tainted. Attorneys must recuse themselves if there's even an appearance of conflict. Anything less jeopardizes public confidence in the rule of law.

    Undo
  16. The President of the United States should not be discussing any criminal case in which he has been implicated with the Acting Attorney General. This is wrong, unethical and eviscerates post-Watergate policy. Whitaker should not need an ethics opinion to know this is inexcusable.

    Undo
  17. Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall. He said it over and over again. He assured voters they would not be stuck with the bill. He broke that promise. When he met with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, he said he would shut down the government. Sadly, he’s keeping that one.

    Undo
  18. Old Marines never die, but they do resign after the President ignores their advice, betrays our allies, rewards our enemies, and puts the nation’s security at risk. Turn out the lights when Mattis leaves; we will not see his like again while Trump remains in office.

    Undo
  19. Absent an iron-clad commitment to recuse himself from the Russia probe and obstruction of justice issue, this memo should disqualify Barr from consideration. Senators must not blind themselves to Trump’s illicit purpose in choosing the acting Attorney General and his replacement.

    Undo
  20. This is patently false and dangerously naive. These hostile nations are delighted by the U.S. withdrawal and betrayal of our regional partners. The rash decision, despite opposition from Mattis and others, means our allies will not trust us and our enemies will not fear us.
