Wishing a happy Kwanzaa to all who celebrate! Best wishes for a joyous celebration!

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and best wishes for a joyous and peaceful New Year!

It is appalling that @POTUS & Congressional Republicans would shut down the government days before Christmas because they didn’t get what they wanted. I urge the GOP to embrace compromise and reopen government. #TrumpShutdown

.@RealDonaldTrump says he is “proud” to shut down the government for his costly, expensive border wall, yet his government shutdown leaves 90% of @DHSgov employees to work without pay just days before Christmas. #TrumpShutdown

The majority of Americans don’t think a #TrumpShutdown is good policy. @HouseGOP & @RealDonaldTrump ought to work with Democrats to reopen the government now.

The #TrumpShutdown has many negative effects for workers and families. It also illustrates yet another reason why a federal receivership of NYCHA would be a bad idea!

TO ALL RED HOOK RESIDENTS – We hear you on the cruise ship issue. We’ve gotten 50% of cruise ships to dock using clean power, up from 33% - but make no mistake, 100% is the goal. We’ll be working closely with EDC to ensure this happens. Anything short of 100% is inadequate.

I'm pleased that SCOTUS has rejected @realDonaldTrump's stay request in asylum case. We must continue to oppose this coldhearted and hateful policy.

More than half of Americans say increasing funding for Trump’s border wall isn’t worth a #TrumpShutdown. @realDonaldTrump needs to give up & let Congress keep government open! #NoBorderWall

Praying for a swift recovery for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Remember, the Senate UNANIMOUSLY approved a deal that would avoid all this and keep government running until February. It was @realDonaldTrump's decision to reject that bipartisan agreement.

Sorry @realdonaldtrump. As you said on 12/11 "I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down." This will be the #TrumpTantrumShutDown. Please reconsider. There's too much at stake.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1076132028888825857 …

Everyone should read Def Sec Mattis' letter to @realDonaldTrump. Makes clear his view of this Administration's irresponsible foreign policy. And, it comes as the President is threatening a Gov't shut down. @GOP isn't governing. Thankfully Dems will have a House Majority in Jan.

The latest @GOP bill is a nonstarter & it has NO chance of enactment. Not only, does this bill fund @realDonaldTrump's stupid, offensive border wall, but it fails to provide nutritional assistance for Puerto Rico. I'm voting NO! Let's stop wasting time & work to keep gov't open!
