As of 1155 AM, radar indicated heavy rain over the eastern half of Oahu. Video from the public in Hauula on the east side of Oahu. A Flash Flood Warning has been issued. Do not cross fast flowing water in your vehicle, or on foot!
Federal employees – including law enforcement, TSA screeners, Forest Service firefighters, food safety inspectors, and others – are forced to go without pay during the holidays as a result of the #TrumpShutdown. Retweet to call on @HouseGOP & @RealDonaldTrump to reopen the govt.
Our federal workers do not deserve furloughs, pay delays and uncertainty at the end of the year. They work too hard serving our country to be put in this position. Trump and his supporters must end the #TrumpShutdown immediately.
The only adult in the room stepping down would have been more negative if Trump didn’t engage in his art of deflection. This is no way to say thank you to our dedicated federal workforce. Americans deserve much better from the office of the President.
It is unfortunate that in the midst of the Holiday season President Trump is forcing more than 420,000 federal workers to continue on the job without pay. Hopefully, after quick reflection, the President and his enablers re-think this approach to funding the government.
We reached an agreement on the final package of spending bills only to have Trump shut it down after Freedom Caucus members pushed him. A lot of this is part of Trump’s efforts to change the narrative after Secretary Mattis’ stunning resignation.
.@realDonaldTrump has (once again) brought us close to failing to fund the government. Americans need us to act responsibly. Congress reached a bipartisan compromise before Trump decided to pander to his base. Do your job @POTUS Keep the government running. #TrumpShutdown
I have always respected General Mattis for his four decades of service to our country and his commitment to reigning in the ridiculous defense policies pushed by @realDonaldTrump and his @GOP. He was one of the few adults allowed in Trump’s room. We wish him the best.
Mattis’ resignation letter makes it clear.
“My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues.”
