The Democrats continue to play political games. They are desperately afraid of their far-left base, and that's why we're in the #SchumerShutdown.
They don't care if the American people suffer.
JUST NOW: I stood with @SenJeffMerkley in his fight on the Senate floor against Donald Trump’s authoritarianism.
Donald Trump is about to leave on a foreign trip in the middle of his shutdown instead of fixing this healthcare crisis.
Democrats think throwing more money at the ACA will fix healthcare. When you’re in a hole, you stop digging.
The ACA has been the law of the land for 15 years. We’re ready to fix it, but blaming Republicans is pure hypocrisy.
Trump: "The only cost that's really up is beef and the fake news only wants to talk about beef. And what I did is I made it possible for those people to survive. But they were being decimated by other countries. So prices are way down, groceries are down, everything is down ... our country has never done better."
Deranged Democrats just blocked a bill to pay our troops, Border Patrol, TSA, and law enforcement during the Schumer Shutdown.
But it’s not surprising, they’ve already admitted they’re using paychecks as “leverage.” ⬇️
Dems continue to throw a temper tantrum over this shutdown
They want to give illegal aliens healthcare but won’t vote to ensure our veterans have access to healthcare
This is ridiculous and needs to end
"Third-rate reporters didn't see it because they didn't look. You're a third-rate reporter, always have been."
President Trump clashes with a reporter who asked for his response "to people who say you haven't been transparent enough" about the White House ballroom construction
Democrats aren’t even hiding it anymore.
The House Minority Whip said people will suffer - but it’s “leverage.”
Schumer said “every day gets better for us.”
Bernie said reopening means “we lose our leverage.”
Inflicting suffering to please their radical base - DISGRACEFUL!
🚨 BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt is furious that because of Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, tomorrow, over 500 THOUSAND Americans will miss a paycheck...
...and 13,000 air traffic controllers.
Chuck owns it.
"More than 500,000 civilian federal employees will miss a full paycheck tomorrow. Thousands of small business loans are going unapproved each month. This means almost $4 billion in capital is being withheld from small businesses across the country."
"The Democrat shutdown is also causing severe impacts at airports across the country. And one single day this week, the FAA had to issue ground stops impacting flights at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport Airport."
"13,000 air traffic controllers who ensure that we all fly safely are continuing to work without pay. It is egregious and truly sad."
"Some of them are reportedly being forced to turn to driving for Uber and taking on other second jobs to make ends meet as the Democrats continue to shut down the government."
So, Mike is saying he WON’T pay essential workers because he wants to put more pressure on Schumer? But I thought they said it was the Dems who didn’t care about people suffering? Weird.
.@POTUS: "I think it's a shame that it's shut down because we have the greatest economy in the world right now... We have a lot of good people that aren't working right now that should be—and it's because the Democrats... they want $1.5 trillion given to illegal immigrants."
We’ve never seen Obama this politically involved.
He’s jumping into multiples races and amendments.
That’s a good thing.
It means he’s scared at how much damage Trump & MAGA is doing to his Marxist movement.
It’s no coincidence that all his minions are getting indicted too.
🔥 GOV. @GavinNewsom: “Laura @IngrahamAngle on Fox is in business with Trump Jr… it’s state capitalism… unprecedented in modern history… billions of dollars…. the great grift… Fox is the Pravda network… I’ll be sending out kneepads to all the CEO’s… WAKE UP EVERYBODY.”
President Trump is laying the groundwork to steal the next election.
Using our military to intimidate citizens is moving us towards authoritarianism—including rigging elections.
Whether it’s Portland or Chicago, we have to fight back. Keep at it, @SenJeffMerkley.
