Richard Blumenthal Retweeted
"This Trump shutdown is wholly on Donald Trump, who wants this vanity project that he promised the Mexicans would pay for," says Sen. Blumenthal. "He has failed to spend the money that's already been appropriated, that $1.3 [billion], only 6% of it spent on border security."pic.twitter.com/StTSXdAH8I

Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal: "The President has been, again, a moving target. Negotiating with him is like trying to talk to jello, as Senator Schumer said. ... The common ground here is border security." https://cnn.it/2VuBOrt pic.twitter.com/FHWCgHkEod

I will be donating my pay to Homes For The Brave until the shutdown is done. What will top Trump officials do with theirs?

Accepting these raises makes clear these “leaders” fail a basic tenet of leadership—putting what’s best for the group above one’s own self interests.

Because of the
#TrumpShutdown, 800,000 workers are not getting paid, but senior officials are receiving a raise? Utterly unfair & another insult to the hardworking men & women currently working w/out pay & forced to make substantial sacrifices while the gov't is closed.https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1081227899238301696 …Show this threadThanks.

In a country w/o independent judiciary or due process, these scapegoats create a false image of a full & fair trial for Khashoggi's murder—continuing Saudi propaganda & deflecting accountability for Crown Prince's culpability in this killing & cover-up.https://n.pr/2RbOV2g

Congress must be clear to rail companies: No more statutory extensions for Positive Train Control deadlines. Stiff fines & other penalties should be imposed for future failures. Rail safety is at stake.

Metro North's failure to meet the deadline for Positive Train Control is absolutely unacceptable. Requested delay to next year seems to put safety at risk, after repeated extensions.

Unacceptably missed deadlines! Lifesaving railroad technology—Positive Train Control—still lacking on almost all rail lines, despite Dec 31 deadline. FRA must hold them accountable with $27,904 per day fines if necessary.

Little do Americans realize, they are likely paying more on Amazon because of their contract clause. Amazon stopped enforcing these price parity provisions in Europe, now our antitrust enforcers must investigate. US consumers deserve the same protections.https://nyti.ms/2RcNpgj

His successor should start righting these wrongs beginning with approving the amendment to the Mashantucket Pequot casino compact—as required under federal law.

Not only did Zinke plunder from taxpayers & eviscerate environmental protections, but he potentially lied to those investigating him—a federal crime.https://wapo.st/2QnbFqK

Like rain on your wedding day, maybe shutdowns are good luck. Sure hope so, because this beautiful couple really deserves it!

Mr. Barr must be fully forthcoming about his views on the Special Counsel’s investigation & any conversations with Trump or anyone else about it.

Will Barr hearings be another rush to judgement Trump confirmation? The Senate Judiciary Committee needs documents, background investigation, & all relevant materials well before January 15.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/senate-judiciary-committee-sets-confirmation-hearing-for-trump-attorney-general-pick-william-barr/2019/01/02/9505f82a-0ee4-11e9-84fc-d58c33d6c8c7_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4afe8b3dd292 …

6 months since the Singapore summit spectacle & not even a definition of denuclearization. US must keep North Korean sanctions for as long as Kim’s regime actively pursues nuclear weapons. President Trump is being played like a fiddle.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/01/world/asia/kim-trump-nuclear.html …
