This agreement is long-overdue & an enormous relief to the 800,000 federal employees who have gone 35 days without pay. The past 5 weeks have paralyzed critical govt functions & cut services. The shutdown was a pointless exercise that didn’t change a thing. Full statement: 1/6pic.twitter.com/iq42Z2RLU1

The President showed why shutting down the government is never a responsible strategy. Our democratic process is the way we must work out our differences. I'm eager to be a part of good faith discussions about investing in effective, evidence-based border security proposals. 3/6

But we should be clear that any future threat of a shutdown has no place in the dialogue of how to keep this country safe or pass comprehensive immigration reform. No President or leader in Congress should ever use federal workers and critical services as political leverage. 4/6

Today’s development is not a victory for any politician in Washington, it’s a victory for the American people. I am grateful for our dedicated federal workers who only want to do their jobs, serve their country, and provide for their families. 5/6

We owe these workers—and all the American people—a new way of doing business in Washington that puts political brinksmanship and shutdown politics behind us. 6/6
