    Going to go out on a limb here and say that I’m pretty sure they don’t. What federal workers want IS TO BE PAID for the work they do for the country, day in and day out. Just a guess...

    Trump claims that “many” federal workers want the government to stay closed: "Many of those workers have said to me, communicated, stay out until you get the funding for the wall. These federal workers want the wall."

    To furloughed public servants & their families, you deserve better from your government, today and everyday. Thank you for your commitment to our country, even when your government lets you down.

    Let’s count the ways that your Admin hasn’t done a good job protecting Americans w/ preexisting conditions: -Celebrated a bill that would gut them -Supported a lawsuit that would gut them -Created short term plans that gut them Stop lying about health care.

    Replying to @larry_levitt
    The ACA doesn’t do a good job of protecting Americans with pre-existing conditions. A family of four is paying $1,500 a month. What good are protections if you can’t afford coverage?

    The GOP gave corporations a $1.5 trillion tax cut & shutdown government 3 times when 40% of Americans can't cover a $400 emergency expense & 80% of workers live paycheck-to-paycheck.

    Tonight, I asked Scott Perry (R-Pa.) about effect of fed employees being furloughed. He argued it had no real impact since employees eventually get paid back. "Who’s living that they’re not going to make it to the next paycheck?"

    Mark Meadows failed to mention that the legislative branch is funded through September 2019 and his paycheck will arrive as scheduled on 12/31.

    Rep. Meadows tells federal employees who won’t get paid during shutdown: You signed up for this

    GOP & aren’t only shutting down the government tonight, they’re allowing the Violence Against Women Act to expire and leaving survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault without critical, lifesaving resources. Shameful.

    Old enough to remember the time in 2018 when Trump/Ryan/McConnell shut down the government because we couldn’t afford $3.4B for health care for low-income kids. But please, lecture us about how spending $5B on an ineffective wall is in our national interest.

    The self-proclaimed party of ‘patriotism & strength’ is willing to shutdown the American government because they’re scared of being tweeted at by a bully who gets his marching orders from the hosts of Fox & Friends.

    Guns kill people. In fact, they killed nearly 40,000 Americans last year alone. 40,000 American families have an empty seat at their holiday table this year because a bullet took a loved one’s life. We can stop this suffering. We just choose not to. That changes on 1/3/2019.

    Gun deaths in America have reached a record high. Nearly 40,000 people in the United States died by guns last year, marking the highest number of gun deaths in decades, according to a new analysis of data from the CDC

    Senate passed CR without a single objection. House could likely pass it with a veto proof majority to keep the government open. Which means Paul Ryan is choosing to end his career in a government shutdown to satisfy President Trump.

    A criminal justice system that perpetuates cycles of incarceration, entrenches racism & penalizes poverty is a stain on American soil. First Step Act moves us closer to promise of equal justice but our next steps must address mandatory minimums, bail reform & access to legal aid.

    Enough. Time for answers, accountability, oversight, protection and regulation.

    The truth is that our frontline fights in healthcare happen far from Washington. They're waged by the patients, survivors and advocates in the trenches every day, bravely wearing the scars of a health care system that does not serve all.  Grateful for your voice
