    When GOP was pushing a 2nd tax cut last month, I (and many others who know their tricks) said this was just a step in their plan to cut and . Now that their has exploded the deficit they've begun that process.

    The GOP is at it again. Let’s be clear, this latest round of tax cuts is just the next step in their long term plan to justify cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

    . rejects 100-0 Senate compromise he said he’d accept, manages only 47 Senate votes for Big Dumb Wall bill (48 w/ Pence), shuts down government. Chaos and incompetence reign.

    We may disagree on what foreign policy to enact, but there can be no argument that our decisions should be based on the guidance of our intelligence agencies, our interests, and our values — not a foreign leader. ’s inability to lead will have dire consequences.

    The American people don’t support this wall, or the tactics Trump’s using to get it. Republicans and Democrats in Congress already passed a compromise, and I hope Trump will consider putting on his big boy pants and joining us so that we can re-open the government.

    All told, 420,000 people will work without pay, and another 380,000 will be furloughed because of Trump’s tantrum.

    Border patrol agents — the people doing the real work of securing the border Trump has feigns concern for — will be forced to work without pay. The same thing goes for air traffic controllers and TSA agents, correctional officers, and firefighters with the U.S. Forest Service.

    We’ve entered the because of the President’s infantile demand for a wall that has been panned as an ineffective, wasteful, and unnecessary by nearly every border security expert you can find. Mexico was never going to pay for it, and taxpayers shouldn’t either.

    I would be remiss not to call out how ludicrous this entire situation is. Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House — Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are in charge of the agenda and therefore responsible for the mess they’ve made.

    Agreed. His tantrum is repugnant, but unsurprising. His treatment of working people — in this case federal workers — has followed this pattern for his whole term.

    Trump shouldn’t treat the like a reality show. It has real effects on real people—like the hundreds of thousands of federal employees without paychecks before the holidays. It also affects critical services for people in and across the country.

    Reminder: all this GOP chaos is for the fiscally irresponsible, morally reprehensible, physically useless that Americans don’t want and clearly rejected in November. Whether it’s made of steel slats or not.

    ., you said you would be “proud” to shut down the government. You own this. Instead of throwing a tantrum over a single issue, agree to sign the bipartisan Senate-passed funding bill and let’s keep the government open.

    Thousands of Americans may not receive their hard-earned paychecks right before Christmas because this president refuses to stop campaigning. My statement on Trump's demands for an ineffective and expensive government-built monument to bigotry:

    The Democrats now own the shutdown!

    Trump's would mean 150,000 Homeland Security Employees (including 54,000 Border Agents and 42,000 Coast Guard employees) would be working WITHOUT pay on Christmas. Is that his idea of border security?

    Donald, it was only 9 days ago. Remember? You said you'd be "proud" to shut down the government if you didn't get what you want.

    At Christmas, thousands of federal employees living and working in New Jersey will face uncertainty. "Bah Humbug," says Trump.

    Too much is at stake to risk shutting down the government over a wasteful and unnecessary wall. NJ families will suffer during the holidays if Republicans continue to pursue these reckless policies. .

    If the “border is tight” why are you threatening to shutdown the government if you don’t get a wall?

    With so much talk about the Wall, people are losing sight of the great job being done on our Southern Border by Border Patrol, ICE and our great Military. Remember the Caravans? Well, they didn’t get through and none are forming or on their way. Border is tight. Fake News silent!
