I am in Washington tonight as President Trump shuts down one-third of the federal government. I'm here because it is my job to make government work, not shut it down.

This manufactured drama is not about border security, but it is about conservative politics, pathetic posturing, and a complete disregard for the well-being of our country. The truth is Republicans in the House could have stopped this, but they are so afraid of Trump they would rather shutdown the government than do what is right and stand up to him. It is an embarrassment and the reason Democrats will take control of Congress on January 3rd! As the Washington Post says: “Trump’s shutdown stunt is an act of needless stupidity.” https://wapo.st/2BCoKXM

Yes it is!
