On the Senate floor with Senator Ben Cardin to ask McConnell to bring our bill to guarantee back pay for furloughed federal workers to a vote. Federal workers deserve to know that if the Trump Shutdown happens they won’t be punished.

President Trump said he would be “proud” to shut down the government. Now, as always, he wants to duck responsibility. He will sow chaos across the country—all because he couldn’t keep his promise that Mexico—not taxpayers—would pay for his stupid wall. I'm coming back to vote NO.
