    Today we think about the enduring message of a young couple turned away because there was no room, only to give birth to a child in a humble stable. The world is filled with millions seeking refuge, and we are all like innkeepers—let us choose wisely in how we treat them.

    President Trump is gleefully punishing 800,000 of his own citizens by shutting down the government over the holidays. Virginia’s federal employees are so sick of this.

    17 days ago, the military confirmed to me that there were no plans to change our strategy in Afghanistan. By ignoring the advice of his military advisors, Trump’s incoherent decision-making threatens our troops as they conduct a hasty withdrawal in an uncertain environment.

    . has no concept of the hard work our federal employees do every day to keep the country running. Forcing 800,000 of them to spend the holidays unsure about their next paycheck is cruel.

    Secretary Mattis protects this nation against the worst instincts of a President who puts our national security at risk. His announced departure should alarm every American.

    I’m so proud to call my *senior* Senator and a close friend of 38 years. There’s no one I’d rather serve Virginia with. Happy Birthday, Mark!

    Tens of millions of Americans could lose their health insurance because of this ruling, including people with a history of cancer, diabetes or other pre-existing conditions. An appeals court needs to overturn this decision and Rs must stop these cruel attacks on our health care.

    A Texas federal judge has ruled the ENTIRE Affordable Care Act unconstitutional because of the GOP tax law's gutting of the individual mandate.

    This is a silly sideshow from President Shutdown. Get your facts straight. And take a bipartisan deal. Don't inflict senseless pain on federal workers, our government, and America's reputation. You've done enough.

    Now he demands $5B from taxpayers for the wall or we get a . But: > He said Mexico would pay for it > Congress gave him $1.3B for border (not "boarder") security in '17 and he didn't spend it > His own border patrol says we need sensors/fence/etc but the wall's dumb

    President Trump blew the whole Iran deal up—over his own military leaders' objections, by the way—because of his insecurity over President Obama. An insecurity which, I might add, Saudi Arabia has played like a cheap fiddle.

    The Iran deal did not "give" Iran one penny; it released Iran's own money frozen in bank accounts. It imposed restrictions and inspections on Iran for decades and prohibited the country from ever purchasing, acquiring or developing any nuclear weapons.

    President Trump is delusional and clearly has never read the Iran deal.

    The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?

    The days of Congress enabling President Trump’s lies and misdirection are coming to an end. In divided government, Democrats aren’t gonna just go along with whatever the tweet du jour is. We’re going to demand he act like an adult.

    Trump’s labor secretary once signed off on the "deal of a lifetime" for wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now senators want to know why.

    “Proud” ?? To hurt the economy? To force federal workers (many in Virginia) to go without pay? To demonstrate to the world that America can’t even do the basic functions of governing? Make no mistake: Donald Trump is cheerleading a shutdown.

    Heated meeting right now going down in Oval Office per between POTUS and Democratic leaders. Trump says: “I am proud to shut down the government”

    America’s position as a global moral leader is fragile. From caging children to allowing a journalist’s murder, we can’t let this stand. On , let’s look in the mirror and commit ourselves to again making America the world’s beacon for equality and rights for all.

    Our troops who serve in overseas wars deserve a Congress with the courage to weigh in on those wars. We support ⁦⁩ efforts to pass an Authorization to Use Military Force that puts Congress back in the driver seat.

    The Justice Department Inspector General should investigate how serial sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein got what the called “the deal of a lifetime” — including Alex Acosta’s role in it. I’m leading this letter with to demand they do just that.
