"Just wanted to point out that Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff is quite possibly the most vulnerable Senator in America right now and tonight, he voted no on this deal.

This is what courage looks like."

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

If we get ever get back in control, the Dems better head that way, hard. Hard.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

If a court actually debates whether or not people should get money for food to eat, and then even entertains listening to the side that wants to withhold that funding... this is how you know something is very very wrong with the system of checks and balances.

Hell-bent on making people go hungry, Trump demands Court Ordered SNAP payments be expunged from recipients' accounts (or else risk punitive action), while he himself hosts yet another lavish dinner party at Mar-A-Largo.

This must end. Is there not one Republican who will stand up to him?!
