I value justice, advocating for those that can't. I love laughter. Work, play hard, fighting cancer. Liberal. Appreciate the moment, miracles happen daily.

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

There is no logical reason on the merits, for McConnell to object to guaranteeing military pay and death benefits during shutdown, except wanting to use the brave men and women in our Armed Forces as pawns in this political chess game. Unconscionable. https://t.co/KMwGczKneg

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

When you’re the President and your party controls both Houses, only the most minimal level of competence is needed to keep the government open. #TrumpShutdown

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

I will not be lectured about what our military needs by a five-deferment draft dodger. https://t.co/gR3EbhGxBs

[Jeff Tiedrich [retired account — see bio] @jefftiedrich]

maybe Mexico will pay for the shutdown

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Now it's up to us to make sure EVERY voter knows who screwed them over come 2018:

Are you angry? Vote!

Do you want to see big changes? Vote!

Are you embarrassed by our country's leadership? Vote!

Feeling sick to your stomach? Vote!

Sick of seeing Paul Ryan's smug face? Vote!

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We need to guarantee members of our military and furloughed federal workers will receive the pay they deserve during the shutdown. It’s the right thing to do.

Paul Ryan passed a 1.5 trillion dollar tax bill that takes from working people to give to the super rich.

Days later, he got $500,000 in Koch contributions.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Donald Trump ran for President as the great “negotiator.” Well, he negotiated his way into a completely unnecessary shutdown on the one year anniversary of his inauguration.

Time to make a deal to protect Dreamers and CHIP, Mr. President.

I pray he’s wearing pants.... https://t.co/TYOpWYzR8t

[Joe Scarborough @ScarboroughNow]

6. Trump does a deal with Schumer. His staff then tell him he cant.
7. Kelly calls Schumer and tells him staff won’t allow Trump to make the deal.
8. Government shuts down. https://t.co/yiw7bP7xl3

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

There are Dreamers in Washington from every corner of America right now—I was honored to hear from some of them today with my friend, Senator @maziehirono. They inspire me every day to keep fighting for the #DreamAct & to keep pushing forward.

[Sir John 👑♎️ @AfroMindset]

I just listened to Representative Dent, a Republican from Pennsylvania on #Hardball and he was actually putting forth common sense approaches on #DACA, #CHIPfunding and reopening the Government. It’s unfortunate that his Party will likely never go for it. #PMJoy #ResistTrump

[Dave Draper @ddraper4614]

Why is Trump getting a pass, hiding from media he craves? #Hardball #inners #Maddow https://t.co/5iWZRP5E8r

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Why is @POTUS not in the thick of these negotiations now? Because after several sessions in which he appeared willing to make a deal, only to be reeled in by his staff and @GOP leaders, NEITHER side trusts him to handle this.

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Trump unilaterally killed DACA.

Trump unilaterally rejected a bipartisan fix to the problem he created.

Now his hacks are lecturing America about how much they want to address DACA.

Their position depends entirely on reporters reporting their bad faith and sincere. Don’t.

[Ted Corcoran (RedTRaccoon) @RedTRaccoon]

In case Mick Mulvaney didn't catch this clip, I'll post it again.

He talks a big game when he wants cheers, but can't take responsibility when it becomes reality.

I do believe that is Trump speaking and not Obama.

I am laying this at the feet of the President.

#TrumpShutdown

[Monica Newton @MonicaN7o8]

Thank you Senator. https://t.co/Fj43ffJjBr

[♻️🇺🇸 Christopher Zullo @ChrisJZullo]

Forget #releasethememo. Why would Democrats ever support Donald Trump? You realize Republicans held 13 hearings, 50 briefings. Used 588,000 taxpayer man hours and $125 million investigating Benghazi but won't conduct thorough investigation into Russian meddling in our elections?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Meanwhile, funding for the health care of 9 million children is expected to run out within days. https://t.co/baLwuvee7I

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @realDonaldTrump: You are the President, the most powerful government official on earth. You told the American people how great you are at making deals. You told us you alone can fix it. If there is a #govshutdown, you failed. Full stop. https://t.co/iU0BV3iB5x
