Democrats Vote Down Coast Guard Pay
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 24, 2019
Higgins to Serve on Oversight & Reform Committee
Rep. Glen Higgins, ...
Jan. 24, 2019
Tweet - "Today House Democrats for the third time voted AGAINST paying federal workers as negotiations continue. I asked the House Democrat Majority Leader a simple question: how can Democrats claim to support workers when they refuse to pay them and instead use them as political pawns?"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 24, 2019
Tweet - "The way out of this shutdown involves Nancy Pelosi putting her personal bias against @realDonaldTrump aside and coming to the table with a serious offer to solve the crisis at our southern border. So far she's been unwilling to do that."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 24, 2019
Speaker Pelosi, Do Your Job
Rep. Steve Scalise

Strengthening America's Security in the Middle East Act of 2019--Motion to Proceed
Sen. John Kennedy
Jan. 23, 2019
Tweet - "First Nancy Pelosi invited @realDonaldTrump to deliver the #SOTU during the shutdown. Then she claimed there were security concerns, which DHS & Secret Service promptly refuted. She's run out of excuses other than pure obstruction. It's petty, unprecedented, and beneath Congress."
Rep. Steve Scalise

Democrats Waste Time as Federal Workers Suffer
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 23, 2019
Tweet - "Americans want border security & open government, yet Democrats continue to hold #SOTU & federal workers hostage to their open-borders & anti-Trump agenda. It's day 33 of the shutdown & we've yet to see a serious counteroffer from them because they're only focused on obstruction."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 23, 2019
Tweet - "Need more proof Democrats aren't taking shutdown negotiations seriously? - First they voted again to not pay federal workers during the shutdown - Now they've canceled votes on Friday & are leaving town before noon on Thursday as federal workers prepare to miss another paycheck"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 23, 2019
Tweet - " 215 Democrats just voted to NOT PAY federal workers as we continue negotiating to secure our border & open the government. Every Republican voted YES. Democrats are so committed to their open-border agenda that they've TWICE voted to deprive federal workers of their paychecks."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 23, 2019
Tweet - "I'm glad @realDonaldTrump is moving forward with delivering the #SOTU next week in the House, as Pelosi originally offered. DHS & USSS say they're prepared to carry out this event, & the American people deserve to hear from @POTUS about his plan to solve the crisis at our border."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 23, 2019
Tweet - "Speaker Pelosi put out her statement rejecting @realDonaldTrump 's latest offer BEFORE he even presented it to the nation. That's how unserious she is about ending the shutdown, paying federal employees, and solving the crisis at our border."
Rep. Steve Scalise

Rep. Mike Johnson, ...
Jan. 17, 2019
Tweet - "It's Day 27 of the shutdown and Democrats aren't negotiating. Now they're not even willing to let the American people hear the reality. They're holding the government and the State of the Union hostage. It's long past time they put America's safety first & produce a counteroffer."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 16, 2019
Tweet - "#ShutdownNancy shut down the government, and now #SOTU. What are Democrats afraid of Americans hearing? That 17,000+ criminals were caught last year at the border? 90% of heroin in the US comes across the southern border? Illegal border crossings dropped 90%+ in areas w/ a wall?"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 16, 2019
Tweet - "#ShutdownNancy's decision to shut down the State of the Union was never about security. It was about the obstruction of @realDonaldTrump . Plain and simple."

Scalise: Democrats Should Show Up, Do Their Jobs
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 15, 2019
Tweet - "First Nancy Pelosi holds paychecks for federal workers hostage, and now she holds "moderate" Democrats hostage to her open borders agenda by not letting them go to the White House to find a solution that opens the government and secures the border!"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 15, 2019
Tweet - "It's time for this shutdown to end. If Democrats don't support funding the resources our experts say they need to secure our border, they need to provide their own counteroffer of what they'd suggest instead. They claim to support border security, but they won't vote for it."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 15, 2019
Tweet - "Democrats failed their 1st test at governing: by refusing to meet with @POTUS to reopen govt & secure our border, they're turning over their voting cards to Pelosi & denying their constituents a voice in these negotiations. You can't serve the American people if you don't show up"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 15, 2019
Tweet - "You can't say you're for border security if you're not going to fund the tools it takes to actually secure our border. A $1 offer for the wall is an insult to the employees going without a paycheck & to the communities impacted by the criminals & drugs pouring across our border."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 15, 2019
Tweet - "What's it going to take to end this shutdown? Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer finally coming to the table with a real counteroffer to effectively secure our southern border and stop convicted criminals, heroin, and human traffickers from pouring into our communities."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 15, 2019

Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 15, 2019
Democrats Continue to Refuse to Negotiate
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 14, 2019
Tweet - "No, a wall is not immoral. What's immoral is Democrats ignoring the dangers of their open borders agenda. What's immoral is Democrats jetting off to Puerto Rico instead of staying in DC to negotiate with @realDonaldTrump to end the shutdown. Americans deserve better."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 13, 2019
Tweet - "Democrats are still refusing to come to the table with a serious counteroffer that properly secures America's border. I'm joining @ThisWeekABC this morning to discuss. Tune in!"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 13, 2019
Tweet - "It's been weeks and Democrats haven't made a single counteroffer to secure our border. How much more crime at our border and in our communities do they need to see before they start taking this seriously and stop holding our government and our safety hostage?"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 11, 2019
Congress Approves Backpay for Furloughed Workers as Democrats Refuse to Open Government
Rep. Steve Scalise
Jan. 11, 2019
Tweet - "Today I tried to get answers from the Democrat Majority Leader on how they can claim this is a fabricated crisis when 17,000 criminals were caught trying to cross the border last year & 90% of the heroin in the US that's killing Americans at record rates comes across our border."
