    The thing that’s the most ironic about this shutdown is that Trump says the reason for it is border security. We have people at the border who aren’t being paid. We have TSA agents who aren’t getting paid. These are the very people that are supposed to keep us safe.

    Even if we give Trump all the money in the world, he won't be able to build his wall because of eminent domain. This land isn't just there for the taking. For those suffering from this shutdown, let me apologize to you. There is no reason for any of this.

    In December, Congress passed a bill to establish a system for evaluating inmates to determine who could be released early without threatening public safety. Because of the government shutdown, this process has been delayed. Justice cannot wait. Reopen the government.

    Limiting the number of those able to serve makes our military weaker. Limiting the number of those able to serve on account of their gender identity makes our moral code weaker.

    The federal agency that provides programs to help with housing has been shut down for 32 days now. It’s not just those suffering from houselessness that are being affected -- it’s also those who are just one incident away from living on the streets.

    It was because of the work Dr. King did in the civil rights movement that led me to make a commitment to continue that legacy of fighting for social & economic justice.

    If we solely remember Dr. King, we fail him. If we HONOR his Dream, he lives. We are still marching. We will still win.

    There are 800,000 federal workers without paychecks and countless families that depend on food stamps that don’t know when they’ll be able to afford their next grocery trip as a result of the government being shut down. That’s the REAL crisis.

    Trump should realize he will never satisfy the extremists. He should take the deal he originally agreed to in December so that we can finally reopen the government.

    Trump proposes amnesty. We voted for Trump and got Jeb!

    The person Trump is hoping to confirm as the new head of the Department of Justice has written one memo calling a part of the Mueller investigation “fatally misconceived” and one that was TITLED “The Case for More Incarceration.”

    To this day, I do not believe that ANYONE knows how many children were actually separated and that some of these kids will never see their families again.

    The morning after news breaks that Trump may have obstructed justice by telling his lawyer to lie to Congress, he decides another caravan is coming. Predictable. Dangerous. Didn’t work.

    Another big Caravan heading our way. Very hard to stop without a Wall!

    With the government shut down, there is no guarantee about when the nearly 39 million Americans that depend on food stamps will next receive another payment to help them buy groceries. This is a disgrace.

    Kids need textbooks. Families need relief from the opioid crisis. Millions need help with their student loans. Meanwhile, Trump is focused on shutting the government down and spending $5 billion on a wall.

    The state of our union is in an unnecessary crisis that has left us unsafe. Unless the President agrees to open the government, a written speech is more appropriate so hundreds of secret service members will not have to work without pay preparing the Capitol for his visit.
