Americans remember the 2013 shutdown, when Obama decided to lock down national parks and make the shutdown as painful as possible. He even closed the open-air, 24/7 WWII Memorial — turning away veterans. I applaud the Trump admin’s efforts to do the opposite and mitigate these negative impacts. But... show more

📊 Shutdown polls move against Democrats President Trump is working to mitigate the damage of the Democrats’ shutdown by diverting money to pay our brave men and women in uniform. Democrats are fighting it - because they want the shutdown to be as painful as possible.

Obama: “Using a shutdown to extort the American people is wrong.” Maybe the Democrats should end the shutdown already and listen to their master.

SHUTDOWN: The Democrats are celebrating the shutdown as they believe it is helping them politically. President Trump has decided to make it very painful announcing he'll be cutting more and more Democrat programs the longer the shutdown continues. FAFO h/t Eric Daugherty

Americans remember the travel disaster Democrats created by shutting down the government for 43 days in the fall, and they will start to feel that pain again as the DHS shutdown affects TSA. I hope that the Democrats will come to the table and end this.

📍 Nevada food bank: "Both our food and our funding is stretched about as far as it can be right now, and I think that's only going to get more difficult...the longer the shutdown lasts." Democrats continue to refuse to end their shutdown, even as millions of Americans suffer.

Congressional Democrats are calculating that the pain and suffering their shutdown inflicts on American families is worthwhile leverage to acquire new power. The Trump EPA has worked as much as possible to mitigate the damage of the Democrats’ refusal to reopen government, but with carry over funding at the agency drying up more each day, the next shutdown decision ahead of us will unfortunately have to be the most severe.

Democrats have repeatedly admitted their shutdown is INTENTIONAL, and they are using hardworking American families as “leverage.” Chuck Schumer boasts that “every day of the shutdown gets better for us.” To President Trump’s GREAT CREDIT, he is doing everything possible to protect families and keep vital services running. This is a difficult time for millions of Americans — and history will show CLEARLY the Democrats imposed this pain, but the Republicans fought to end it.

Democrats are once again playing political games with the livelihoods of our heroic TSA officers. This shutdown has forced these officers and 100,000 other DHS workers to work without pay — putting them and their families in financial uncertainty. Enough is enough. It’s time for Democrats to end the DHS shutdown.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump the government shutdown! "The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, ‘OK let’s accept their offer…’ Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump] said ‘No! No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week but the President said ‘no deal.’” This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN! Even Republicans are acknowledging it.

I know the Democrats’ shutdown is putting a strain on our air traffic controllers. It’s my job to ensure safety is first and I need these hard-working Americans to show up and do their job for the flying public.

President Trump is doing HEROIC work to protect Americans during the Democrat Shutdown. He’s used every tool available to keep troops paid, air travel moving as much as possible, and programs operational for women, infants, and children — but these funds aren’t endless. If Democrats don’t do the right thing - more real danger is right around the corner. They MUST STOP playing politics with national security. It’s dangerous.

Democrats love to talk about compassion—then they lit the fuse, watched it burn, and left Americans to suffer. This shutdown is self-inflicted chaos, and every American can see it. This is gamesmanship disguised as governance. End the shutdown. NOW.

The Democrats’ Shutdown Backfire By refusing a routine continuing resolution, Senate Democrats triggered a shutdown — and gave Trump the power to decide which programs live or die. What they thought would hurt him may become their greatest political blunder. The Trump inspired sombrero memes only highlight the Democrats’ double standard. They’ve mocked others with memes for years — but their inability to laugh at themselves is every bit as ridiculous as the shutdown itself.

Democrats’ shutdown is harming hardworking Americans and putting national security in jeopardy. There is no time for Democrats’ political games. Republicans are at the table and ready to work whenever Democrats are done playing.

Discussing potential political retribution from the White House as the federal government shutdown takes effect, Gov. Walz said he won't change his tone on President Trump, saying he's not going to "bend the knee" or "kiss the ring" or acquiesce to the president. Walz also discussed his plan to mitigate the impacts of the shutdown on state services and misinformation being spread to Minnesotans.

When you shut down the government, it doesn’t actually shut down. Most employees at the Department of Homeland Security are deemed essential and required to work without pay. That’s why Congress should pass the Shutdown Fairness Act — to ensure people are paid on time and to stop Democrats from using Americans as political pawns in their dysfunctional partisan games.

I was in the Oval Office when President Trump warned Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries not to shut down the government and hurt hardworking Americans. When they ignored that advice, PRESIDENT TRUMP ACTED — ensuring our troops got their paycheck and keeping important programs running for women, infants, and children. But those can only be temporary fixes. Democrats MUST do the right thing and VOTE TO END their shutdown.
