[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

@ronjfitz @jerrycollender1 Hi Ron, Maura here. I’ll be sending out a notice re; memorial next week sometime.

[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

@ronjfitz @jerrycollender1 Ron, Maura here. We will be having a memorial at the end of the month. I will send out info in the next week or so. It’s a very sad time.

[Bryan Jones @bdjones_jones]

Every cable news program needs to have @DavidCayJ, @BruceBartlett and @TheBudgetGuy on to discuss this fiscal disaster. Stop with the dissection of Trump tweets!!!

[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

@LisaDNews You mean you can’t believe you’re hav to write about any of it, right?

[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

Definitely so am I

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

@imillhiser If this means the end of the televised PR-driven SOTU, I’m OK with that.

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

What confounds me is why you need to recruit a star to hold a GOP seat in Kansas.

ohhhhhhh https://t.co/oP7jZ9BP2e

[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

@valkayec Mark of good story telling.

[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

@politicalwire An effort of desparation and an attempt to change the narrative that’s going in the absolute wrong direction.

[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

Very perceptive from ⁦@mmurraypolitics⁩ https://t.co/re1n0Tt2E8

[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

@NormOrnstein @politico @jamespmanley More probably drafted it.

[Richard N. Haass @RichardHaass]

While Washington is doing its best impersonation of high school, the shutdown continues, the country’s business gets ignored and its challenges unmet, and American standing in the world falls further as others find it impossible to respect or count on us. https://t.co/vrN7uyk2mS

@morningmoneyben Speak for yourself. I did not deserve the 2018 Redskins.

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

Nearly 10,000 companies contract with shutdown-affected agencies, putting $200 million a week at risk https://t.co/0YW67nA2Zv

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

This is like late-stage Nixon. First Nixon didn’t know what Liddy & Hunt were doing. Then didn’t know what Coulson & Mitchell were doing. Then didn’t know what Haldeman & Ehrlichman were doing. Problem: Nixon did know what they were doing and they were doing it at his direction.

[Ben White @EconomyBen]

“This is not just some linear event. It can get exponentially worse in very unpredictable ways.”

It’s not just the shutdown threatening economy. It’s the risk that people will conclude that government in the Trump era is fundamentally broken. By me.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

If Trump now reopens Govt, he visibly surrenders to Pelosi.

If Trump keeps Govt closed, he bleeds support faster. Workers miss next paycheck, air travel delays, govt services fail, and economy stalls.

Trump built the trap and walked into it. Pelosi just locked it behind him.

[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

@NormOrnstein Could Mitch invite to address the Senate instead?

[Bobby Kogan @BBKogan]

We somehow live in a world where Republicans with a straight face say that their tax cuts increase revenues and that Democrats' tax increases somehow lose revenue. The opposite is, obviously, the case.

[Stan Collender @TheBudgetGuy]

Agreed. Absolutely.

[Carlos Lozada @CarlosNYT]

I, for one, would love it if we returned to the president submitting a written State of the Union report to Congress.
