    The is pointless and harmful. My Republican colleagues know that keeping the government open is Congress’s core responsibility. Yet they have surrendered our independence and our authority to placate a volatile president.

    What shouldn’t be lost in Trump’s shutdown is House Republicans are allowing the Violence Against Women Act to expire. A shameful end to Speaker Ryan’s tenure.

    Just 10 days ago you said “I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it.” You said it on camera in your own office. A week of your presidency may feel like a lifetime, Mr. President, but it’d be pretty hard to forget that.

    The Democrats now own the shutdown!

    A reminder for today that despite what the President tweets during Executive Time, he already said he would be the one to own this Christmas Shutdown. His chaos and dysfunction is no way to run government.

    President Trump’s Oval Office temper tantrum didn’t get him his wall, so now he’s throwing a bigger one. But don’t forget: if the government shuts down, he already told us who to blame. P.S. Wasn't Mexico supposed to pay for the wall?

    Speaker Ryan, you don’t work for Trump. He can’t tell the House and Senate what to do. Show some courage and standup to the Shutdown Caucus. Let the House vote.

    Americans overwhelmingly rejected GOP efforts to dismantle the ACA in November. Last night’s court decision is not only wrong and cruel, it would have devastating consequences for millions of people. House Democrats will fight this.

    This is absolutely heartbreaking and should never happen in America. How did this young child not receive immediate care? These are our fellow human beings who deserve our compassion and care. She was a 7 year old child.

    Yesterday's Clinton Foundation hearing was a case study in projection. Seems like Republicans really should be looking into pay to play regarding the Trump Administration on several levels.

    NEWS: Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether Trump's 2017 inaugural committee misspent some of the record $107 million it raised, and whether some of its top donors gave money in exchange for access. w/
