The only national emergency at the border is the one Trump created with his cruel policies. Trump is now saying he may go around Congress to build his hateful border wall. Here’s what Congress can and should do immediately if that happens →

This is what happens when a President calls a #FreePress the “enemy of the people” and whips his rallies into a frenzy. Assaults must not be tolerated, and I look forward to re-introducing the #JournalistProtectionAct with @SenBlumenthal. https://t.co/MgtgjVtm55
In 2000, Gore invented the internet.
In 2004, Kerry was a cowardly traitor.
In 2008, Obama had no birth certificate.
In 2016, Clinton's emails.
The GOP will trump up bogus BS for any Dem nominee, & the press will cover it. Don't surrender to this - fight it.
Are we tackling Senate races, state legislatures or the White House in 2020?
Yes! Catch up on our Super State Strategy to find out how we're expanding our map. https://t.co/l6Cwvkw0hG
Are you out of your mind? Instead of looking only at Fox during the Obama years you should have been paying a bit more attention to see how that now defeated Republican Congress treated Obama officials. Your people now simply can’t defend their record or actions.
So CALL. Tomorrow @IndivisibleTeam is calling for a NATIONAL Call-In Day. Every Senator needs to hear from their constituents the same message: No wall. Reopen the government.
And what's that you say? You'd like more analysis? WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED: https://t.co/39AiAmnywo
Call YOUR Senators. (If you're not from Kentucky - and therefore aren't a constituent who can vote for or against him - Mitch doesn't give a rat's ass what you think of him. So don't waste your breath or your energy telling him.)
While we'd all love to tell McConnell our thoughts on the #TrumpShutdown, it’s up to Kentuckians to make those calls. For the rest of us, we have to put the pressure our own Senators to push for a vote to reopen the government. Here's why:

Pleased the House just passed my bill that I coauthored with @RepTedYoho to improve cybersecurity at @StateDept by a vote of 377 - 3. There is no such thing as Republican or Democratic cybersecurity, there's just cybersecurity. And we need to improve it.

This will take 15 minutes - you can do it while you check your email tomorrow morning. This is how we defeated the GOP assault on the ACA. It works. Please call, or email, or fax even! #FBR
Here's how to help pressure McConnell to end the shutdown:
1) Call your senator: 202-224-3121
2) Tell the staffer "I want your boss to vote Tuesday against the motion to proceed on S.1 & everything else until McConnell agrees to a budget vote."
3) Repeat for your other senator
Former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt (remember him?) left the administration, but that doesn't mean they won't be held accountable for their unethical behavior. Congress still plans to investigate: https://t.co/vt1aleVghc
@krassenstein Yes - I’m thinking, are ye daft man??? Seriously, not so much for the unqualified candidates. A law degree is really helpful, as is public office experience in some capacity.
Trump becomes first president since 2002 not to visit troops at Christmastime
Though he called military personnel on Tuesday, Trump did not visit a hospital or a military base.

Our nation’s public servants working or furloughed during this shutdown deserve the peace of mind of knowing they will be paid. I am pleased to cosponsor and support bipartisan legislation in the House that ensures federal employees affected by a shutdown receive retroactive pay.
@Ianatan_Duine@RadioFreeTom “officials with first-hand exposure to Shanahan told Defense News they feel the deputy is too focused on having meetings, sucking up staff time without having many concrete victories to point to.
The officials also described Shanahan as having a sometimes combative personality.”
