@TeaPainUSA My husband is a Park Ranger in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. He had to sign his furlough papers, & we have no idea when his next check will come. We have a 4 yr old and a 4 month old. The mortgage is due, as well as land taxes. Oh, & Xmas
#ShutdownStories
This shutdown was completely avoidable. Now, hundreds of thousands of federal employees will go without a paycheck over the holidays as @realDonaldTrump throws another temper tantrum over his stupid wall. Republicans’ latest attempt to divide and distract us.
The rules are rigged. The wealthy and well-connected want to distract us from demanding change by pitting black, white, and brown working people against each other. But we see through it, and we're ready to fight for a better future. https://t.co/i08w2naJSY
What's at stake with this potential government shutdown over Trump's useless border wall:
→Approximately 400,000 federal employees would be forced to work without pay

All of this right before the holidays. We can avoid this.
In Secretary Mattis’ letter is the plea of a patriot put in an untenable position. It culminates a series of unacceptable decisions & actions by Trump alienating our allies & embracing our enemies, rejecting sound & stable advice from top military, civilian, & intel experts.
Matthew Whitaker’s reported refusal to follow the recommendation of ethics officials further indicates that he views his role as serving President Trump, not the American people.

@Bulldogrescuer@DoyelNathan If you actually knew 1) People travel from other states to 2) be homeless here because, 3) churches and their home states don't care, so California feeds more of USA poor than their own home states.
@DoyelNathan Maybe you also need to do due diligence research on items such as 1) Veterans are highest homeless rate, 2) Immigrants pick your fruits and vegetables because, 3) US Citizens don't do labor, because 4) Wealthy Elite sponsor Immigrants because 5) pay zero benefits.
@DoyelNathan@KamalaHarris Your meme of disparaging voter confidence for US Citizens is appalling. You cannot vote here without a a trail to your US Citizenship ID.

@KamalaHarris@1rbieber (2) republicans were so insistent on getting him confirmed. I had a feeling many of those men may have also, sexually harassed their own interns/staff and got away with it. I can’t wait until Mueller comes forth to finally get rid of Trump.
@KamalaHarris@1rbieber (1) I would like to personally thank you for your efforts to get a straight answer during Kavanaugh’s “hearing”!
