This is a one-two punch for American taxpayers. First, we have to pay for the expense of a government shutdown, on top of that we’re being asked to pay for the expense of Trump’s pet project. Time for Republicans to come to their senses and work with Dems to reopen the government

It is unconscionable that Trump would shut down the federal government to secure $5 billion for a wall that the American public does not want. This Republican Congress could not find funding for teacher pay, for access to health care, or for infrastructure investments!

Unbelievable! 12:04am Government is SHUTDOWN! Irresponsible and Unacceptable! Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House and they simply can NOT Govern!!! All over a wall!! Shame on you for the Trump Shutdown!!

Big win!! Today, in a bipartisan vote, the House passed legislation which paves the way for the release of records pertaining to civil rights era cold cases. Thanks @SenDougJones for leading the way on this! We should NEVER give up on justice.

Trump’s new food assistance requirements destroy another ladder out of poverty. We cannot become a nation that allows families to go hungry, or denies a hand up to those in need. As a country, we are better than that.

Last week's ACA ruling by an extreme right-wing judge would throw tens of millions of Americans off their health care. We cannot allow Republicans to eliminate health care protections and access for American families, including people with pre-existing conditions.

Ryan Zinke's tenure as Interior Secretary was marked by the extravagant, wasteful use of taxpayer dollars. Our taxpayers deserve better. In the new Congress, Dems are making ethics reforms a top priority as part of our work to build a government of, by, and for the people!

Bullying, whether it's online or in real life, is never OK. If you see children being bullied, put a stop to it. Let's send a clear message that bullying is never acceptable.

Good luck to @kirkJay7 as he heads into tonight’s show on #TheVoice!! So proud to see a former #JobCorp volunteer sharing their talent and making a name for themselves! We’re rooting for you!
