    The Trump administration is literally advising the 800,000 federal employees who aren't being paid right now on how to write letters to their landlords on why they can't pay their rent or mortgage this month. This is absolutely disgusting. Using people for political pawns.

        Again showing how they have ZERO IDEA what regular ppl go thru. The one shutdown I went through I was a ‘funded’ fellow, so was expected to work in a closed, dark museum, w/ no idea when I’d be paid, and I only made 28k in DC with no health insurance to begin with.

        Thanks :) It was a rough year, and it’s taken even longer to move past it (financially and mentally). I’m fortunately doing better now, but knowing just what people are going through out there right now (& at the holidays!) infuriates me.

        So is there a letter to write to your children on why they are not being fed as well? Asking for a friend.

        This is ridiculous. This closure is on @realDonaldTrump and the GOP who are complicit in his actions.

        This is NOT on Trump. He ran for the office, on this promise. He was elect to the office, on this promise. How is this a surprise to anyone. Chuck and Nancy are both, on the record saying the SAME THING about illegal immigrants. The exact same - exact thing!!!

        The most insane part about that advice is “contact your personal attorney” like regular people have attorneys on retainer. Attorneys that need to be paid...with what?!? They can’t pay their bills! Insanity.

        Trump thinks everyone has personal attorneys on retainer because he had one. Thing is, most people don’t commit enough crimes to need one as much as he does
