Mr. President. Stop breaking the law. 

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

These firings are illegal—

And yet another example of Trump finding new ways to inflict harm on the American people and the programs they rely on.

He's playing with Americans' livelihoods to try and help Republicans pass a budget that would kick you off your health care.

Andy Barr makes $174,000 a year and has been on recess 49 of the last 78 days. Now he’s letting our troops go unpaid during a shutdown. If he believes in work requirements, he should start with himself.  #KYsen #DoYourJob

- Millions of federal employees aren’t getting paid
- 15 million people about to lose their health care
- 24 million Americans could see their insurance premiums DOUBLE

Now Speaker Johnson gives House Republicans another week off work. 4 straight weeks out of DC. Unbelievable.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

'Living room with my sister,' (1847) is one of several Adolph Menzel painted of rooms in his house at 18 Schöneberger Strasse in Berlin - private experiments in capturing different light sources, moonlight, late sun filtered through curtains and in this case, artificial light.
