Jan. 23, 2018

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 23, 2018
Tweet - "Because common sense and bipartisanship won out yesterday, we have a fresh start today to resume negotiations on key issues such as immigration and border security, disaster relief, health care, and defense spending."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 22, 2018

Rep. Andy Barr
Jan. 22, 2018
Tweet - "During the shutdown, the #Senate made no substantive progress -- not an inch -- on the serious, bipartisan negotiations that it will take us to resolve issues such as immigration and border security, health care, disaster relief, defense spending, & many other matters."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 22, 2018

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 22, 2018
Congressman Comer Calls for End of Shutdown and Withholds Pay
Rep. Jamie Comer
Jan. 21, 2018
Tweet - "To most Americans, taking care of our military and #veterans, providing #healthcare for needy children, and funding the @CDCgov sound like fundamental responsibilities. To the Democratic Leader, apparently, they sound like hostages ripe for the taking. #SchumerShutdown"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 20, 2018
Tweet - "Here's the difference between the Democratic Leader and the rest of the #Senate tonight: (Special Character) He wants to keep the government shut down for hundreds of millions of Americans until we finish negotiating on illegal immigration."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 20, 2018
Barr Calls on Democrats to End the Schumer Shutdown
Rep. Andy Barr
Jan. 20, 2018
Tweet - ""#Senate Democrats Blocked Passage Of A Stopgap Spending Bill" #SchumerShutdown (Special Character)"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 20, 2018
Tweet - " .@realDonaldTrump, the House, a bipartisan majority of the #Senate, and the American people cannot begin to understand why the Democratic Leader thinks the entire government should be shut down until he gets his way on illegal immigration. #SchumerShutdown"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 20, 2018
Tweet - "We put forward a noncontroversial bill with bipartisan support that contains nothing #Senate Democrats even claim to object to. It continued funding the federal government and secured the future of #CHIP for the nearly 9,000,000 children that rely on it. #SchumerShutdown"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 20, 2018
"There Was Nothing in That Bill for Them to Oppose."

Members of the Kentucky Delegation Urge Senate Democrats to Avoid Government Shutdown
Rep. Andy Barr, ...
Jan. 19, 2018
Tweet - "#Senate Democrats now say that illegal immigration should take priority over keeping the government open at all. Nothing for opioid treatment centers, #Veterans, or the families of fallen soldiers. Nothing for the nearly 9,000,000 American children on #CHIP."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2018
Tweet - "I've said it before, and I'll say it again. There is absolutely nothing in this bill that #Senate Democrats oppose, yet they are shutting down the government."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2018
Tweet - "The facts before us are simple. Right now, the Democratic leader has no compromise immigration bill on the table. No bill exists. Why do Americans need to suffer from a government shutdown when he doesn't even have an immigration bill?"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2018
Tweet - "The vote to fund the government and the 9,000,000 kids depending on #CHIP should be easy, except the Democratic Leader has convinced #Senate Ds to filibuster any funding bill that doesn't include legislation they are demanding for people who came to the United States illegally."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2018
Tweet - "A partial list of what #Senate Democrats will be jeopardizing by shutting down the government over #DACA: (Special Character) #Veterans' services (Special Character) opioid treatment centers (Special Character) death benefits for the families of fallen soldiers (Special Character) health insurance for nearly 9,000,000 vulnerable children"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 17, 2018
Tweet - "The funding bill that we'll take up in the #Senate will reauthorize #CHIP (which covers nearly 9 million children in low-income families) for 6 years. That's 1 year longer than the bipartisan bill that unanimously passed Senate Finance Committee on a bipartisan basis last year.The funding bill that we'll take up in the #Senate will reauthorize #CHIP (which covers nearly 9 million children in low-income families) for 6 years. That's 1 year longer than the bipartisan bill that unanimously passed Senate Finance Committee on a bipartisan basis last year."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2018
Tweet - "With no imminent deadline on #immigration, and with bipartisan talks well underway, there is no reason why Congress should hold government funding hostage over the issue of illegal immigration."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 9, 2018
Tweet - "The need to provide our military with adequate, predictable funding to meet multiple security threats is clear"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 8, 2018

Sen. Mitch McConnell

Tweet - "Our men and women in uniform are doing their job. Our job is to give them the resources they require."
Sen. Mitch McConnell

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 4, 2018
Tweet - "Nothing about defense spending needs to be partisan. During the Obama Administration, Defense Secretaries Panetta, Hagel, and Carter all similarly warned that sequestration cuts would handicap our men and women in uniform."
