I didn't vote for Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and the vanity wall, I voted for competent Dems to pass important legislation. Stay strong Dems, and don't give into tantrum baby-man.

Question: is Congress getting paid? If so, what if they lost their pay like many others; would it make any difference to the negotiations?

This “wall deadlock” affecting the federal employee on their paycheck has shown a big weakness in the US that millions of American is really live on paycheck by a horrifying truth 😖😰

HE NEEDS REMOVED FROM OFFICE THIS WEEK

[ETGoHome]

Let’s collect all trash on national mall and toss them in White House lawn and McConnell’s office. They need to understand the how federal government functions. None of them deserve to be in the office for their own political interests.

Another week and the Senate will begin to turn on him. This could be the most openly politically foolish thing he could have done.

You're the country that won WW2.? Wow, It was a collation of England, France, Poland and virtually many other countries, the US was the last to actually step in and more than half of your ships are at the bottom of the Pacific, ... yes, you supplied us ammo, tanks Etc, though the War was actually won by all of us.

Trump needs to keep holding his breath like a toddler having a tantrum. America we need to show Trump and the GOP some parenting skills 😉

how long will shutdown last if TSA and air traffic controllers all walk off the job for no pay

[teedee]

Awww. Poor Mitch was embarrassed. Poor little turtle 🐢

[eabaendallbeall]

Years huh? oh my what will we ever do.

[lindascarafiotti]

Someone, preferably an adult, needs to be creative for a solution to this insanity.

[lisamerdy]

No one seems to care about the people NOT GETTING PAID !!
THIS IS CRAZY

[maggieseider]

The pain threshold will never be enough as long as the monster will say everyone will get their tax refunds. this one is such a liar, there is no way to comprehend the depths he will sink to.

[chompnormski]

It’s January and the government is already out of money. Sad

[aerofpv]
