    The bills passed by the @HouseDemocrats to reopen the government passed the Senate committee nearly UNANIMOUSLY.

        We have come to expect @realDonaldTrump to put his own ego and self-aggrandizement ahead of the well-being of the American people and the good of the country, but there is absolutely no reason Republican Senators should follow his lead.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/03/us/politics/mcconnell-senate-republicans-shutdown.html …

        Thank you Senator Merkley for framing this correctly, as a president criminal holding the country for ransom and personal gain. But please continue to stress the truth, that the GOP are the ones allowing this. Their Congress did this for 2 years, the criminal was abetted.🇺🇸

        I'm a historian, RPCV (eastern Ukr, 09-11) "If the US has someone whom historians will look back on a the gravedigger of American democracy, it is Mitch McConnell." historian CHristopher Browning, NY Review of Books, Oct. 25, 2018. Must read. WillMcConnell be held accountable?

        I'm furious that both houses of our government can support legislation and one obstructionist senator (whose wife works for the president) can prevent that legislation from being put through to the president.

        Jeff, reality is Trump won the election on building the wall. If you want your government reopened, you have to give him the wall. If the Democrats say no to the wall, then your hurting families and national security

        Ugh Mike, I know this has been somewhat discussed already but he also explicitly said Mexico would pay for it. So it’s broken promises made, broken promises kept now? #TrumpRussiaDistractionpic.twitter.com/2PkVpoHe9I

        Trump is a child and because of that he does not give a damn that he said Mexico would pay it.if you want the government open, give him the wall. We might find we don’t need the employees and save money

        When your dealing with Trump, yes, because he has the leverage.

        Leverage is not the case when those supporters of his are outnumbered by non supporters. #Resist or be complicit

        His leverage is simple, he has the Senate, the Democrats can not override his veto
