Dec. 12, 2018
Tweet - "Yesterday President Trump said he would be proud--PROUD--to shut down the government if he can't get taxpayers to foot the bill for his wasteful wall. This isn't what our country needs & it's up to Republicans to work w/ Democrats to avoid a #TrumpShutdown."

Sen. Maria Cantwell
Dec. 11, 2018

Sen. Patty Murray
Dec. 11, 2018

Sen. Patty Murray
Dec. 11, 2018
Tweet - "Or they can ignore the people they represent and end this year the way they have governed for the last two years--with another completely unnecessary partisan fight, more gridlock, and more dysfunction."
