Politician
Dec. 28, 2018
Tweet - "I joined #MTPDaily today to urge @realDonaldTrump & GOP leadership to end the #TrumpShutdown. If they continue this shutdown, Democrats will offer a bill on January 3 when we take control of the House to reopen government & ensure federal employees receive the pay they are due."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Dec. 28, 2018
Tweet - "Due to this #TrumpShutdown, this is not a happy holiday for so many hard working federal employees who are furloughed or forced to work without pay. House Democrats continue to call on @realDonaldTrump & House GOP leaders to work with Democrats to reopen government."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Dec. 28, 2018
Tweet - "Today, I met with constituents impacted by the #TrumpShutdown, including federal employees and local business owners with federal government contracts, who told me how the shutdown is harming their livelihoods, morale, and productivity. https://hoyer.house.gov/content/hoyer-meets-marylanders-impacted-republican-government-shutdown "
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Dec. 28, 2018
Tweet - "President Trump has taken hundreds of thousands of federal employees' pay hostage in a last ditch effort to fulfill a campaign promise. Building a wall from sea to shining sea won't make us safer or stop drugs from coming into our country."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 28, 2018
Tweet - "Just went through TSA at STL Lambert. These professionals continue to do their job, without pay, in good spirits with many passengers thanking them. How can anyone be "proud" of a shutdown that hurts so many innocent people?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 27, 2018
Tweet - "Approx. 800,000 federal workers across the country are being furloughed or forced to work w/o pay due to @POTUS' temper tantrum over his costly, ineffective border wall. Read here about how the American people are negatively affected by the #TrumpShutdown:"
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Dec. 27, 2018
Tweet - "No end in sight to the President's government shutdown. He's taken our government hostage over his outrageous demand for a $5 billion border wall that would be both wasteful and ineffective."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 26, 2018
Tweet - "President Trump's senseless government shutdown continues. Hundreds of thousands of federal employees remain without pay - during the holidays - because of his reckless demand for a medieval border wall. This will end when the President and Republicans want it to."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 26, 2018
Tweet - "Good. Can we include all the other migrants who die or are killed, raped, or robbed in route to our less than secure border, in part, because of Congressional inaction?"
Sen. John Cornyn
Dec. 24, 2018
Tweet - "By choosing to trigger the #TrumpShutdown, @realDonaldTrump is hampering important efforts to keep Americans safe. If Trump & the GOP don't stop holding America hostage to their radical policies, the Democratic Majority will act swiftly to reopen government in January."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi
Dec. 24, 2018
Tweet - ".@RealDonaldTrump said he is "proud" to shut down the government for his costly, ineffective border wall, but his #TrumpShutdown means 90% of @DHSgov employees are forced to work without pay during the holiday season."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Dec. 24, 2018
Tweet - "It's Christmas Eve and President @realDonaldTrump is plunging the country into chaos. The stock market is tanking and the President is waging a personal war on the Federal Reserve--after he just fired the Secretary of Defense."

Dec. 23, 2018
Tweet - "Our southern border is in crisis, and our brave border patrol agents are being attacked. We need to give them the tools to stay safe while keeping us safe. We need to build the wall."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Dec. 23, 2018
Tweet - "Think about it: Schumer offered $25B for border security on DACA deal and $40B on Gang of 8 immigration bill. This isn't about substance. It is all about politics and fear of the Democrat base, the Abolish ICE crowd"
