    The President wanted the shutdown, but he seems not to know how to get himself out of it. As long as the President is guided by the House Freedom Caucus, it’s hard to see how he can come up with a solution that can pass both the House and Senate and end his .

    Meanwhile, different people from the same White House are saying different things about what the President would accept or not accept to end his , making it impossible to know where they stand at any given moment.

    It's Christmas Eve and President is plunging the country into chaos. The stock market is tanking and the President is waging a personal war on the Federal Reserve—after he just fired the Secretary of Defense.

    At midnight last night, roughly twenty five percent of the government shut down because of one person and one person alone: President . We arrived at this moment because President Trump has been on a remarkable two-week temper tantrum.

    Last night, let the begin. Rather than agree to a bipartisan compromise, he's holding the gov't hostage in an anti-immigrant tantrum. Who pays the price? Hardworking New Mexicans who don't know when they'll see their next paycheck.

    The President said he’d be “proud” to shut down the government and unfortunately here we are. On Wednesday all 100 senators supported a clean funding extension - a deal the President said he’d accept. I urge the President to come to the table now and end this shutdown.

    This shutdown could have easily been avoided. Two days ago, the entire Senate — 100 Democrats and Republicans — voted to fund the government at the exact same levels President Trump agreed to last year. But, once again, refused to take yes for an answer.

    This shutdown is truly absurd, and would not have happened if President Trump had simply ignored the 11th-hour taunts of a handful of conservatives and instead moved forward with the Senate’s bipartisan bill.

    Even after the Senate passed a bipartisan funding agreement earlier this week, the President still chose to shut down the government. This is completely unacceptable and wholly irresponsible.

    Congrats—Trump wanted a and now he’s got it. He can celebrate all he wants, but hundreds of thousands of unpaid and furloughed federal employees will be hurting this holiday season. This shutdown could have been averted. The American people deserve better.

    On the Senate floor with to ask McConnell to bring our bill to guarantee back pay for furloughed federal workers to a vote. Federal workers deserve to know that if the Trump Shutdown happens they won’t be punished.

    Before he was president said: “If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States.” As President, Trump said he'd be "proud" to shut down the government. Now he's pointing the finger at anyone else.

    Why a government shutdown would be a : Candidate Trump promised Mexico would pay for his wall (they won’t) Then President Trump demands the US govt pay for it (we won’t) … And, oh yeah, *President Trump said he’d be “proud” to shut down the government.*

    President Trump has thrown a temper tantrum and has us careening towards a Christmas . He called for a shutdown no less than 25 times. It doesn’t have to be this way. We've offered 2 alternatives. should consider them today.

    A “Democrat Shutdown." Really? Memories don't fade THAT quickly. Let’s remember that time you went on live TV & said you’d be “proud” to shut down govt. over your costly bumper-sticker boondoggle wall.
