    .@HouseDemocrats just voted to reopen the government… with the SENATE’S bills. But Mitch McConnell won’t let the Senate vote on the Senate’s own bills to protect @realDonaldTrump’s fragile ego. Sad! End the #TrumpShutdown.

        It’s time to impeach @senatemajldr. There’s a precedent. Senator Blount in 1789. Remove McConnell as speaker.

        Why are we arguing over Border Wall funding?? There is absolutely nothing wrong with protecting our country and it’s citizens! Someone please tell me what is wrong with that!?!

        There are already 700 miles of border barriers. Trump wants 1000. The border patrol people want more agents, more trucks, more technology. There is $1.4 billion that was allocated in 2018 and not spent. Use that money.https://www.google.com/amp/s/ktla.com/2018/12/12/firm-awarded-297m-government-contract-to-recruit-5000-border-agents-has-hired-only-two/amp/ …

        This is so sad. From what I’ve read, all of the Eminent Domain cases will take years to get through the courts. Hopefully there will be some equitable solution by then.

        What gives, @SenMajLdr? These are the exact bills the Senate passed unanimously just a few weeks ago. Do your job!

        Mitch McConnell has chosen to forget that he doesn't work for the Executive Branch and 45. Congress (House and Senate) are completely separate branches of government and ARE subject to oversight by the Executive (thank God). I hope the good people of Kentucky take notice.

        Congress is a co-equal branch. Look that up Senator McConnell! You have your own job to do and it's not taking orders from the WH!

        End McConnell's reign as majority leader. The Senate is not supposed to be subservient to the executive branch. Their job is to pass legislation, if the president doesn't want to sign or wants to veto, that is his choice. Follow the Constitution! #ShutdownMitch #TrumpShutdown
