Sorry Chuck I missed this. We decided it was t senatorial. See you in the morning.

If T-Mobile was able to get on Trump's good side by staying in his hotels, what's stopping anyone else? When people believe they can outright pay for influence over this administration, it's a problem.

@SenateGOP, @POTUS you need to read"Profiles in Courage" ASAP. In this book, I read about stories of people who believed in the institution of Congress. But I don't think any of them ever thought about using the closing of gov't as a weapon when they had policy differences. https://t.co/TMc1nF9nQn

Where you end up if you're censured.

In October, I asked Secretary Ross if the president or anyone in the White House had discussed a citizenship question. He lied to my face. Glad to see this exchange was included in the decision -- and I'm especially glad the question has been struck down. https://t.co/ImOXFvrAUW

The world should hear his words. His racist comments is his legacy.

I urge Leader McConnell to bring these measures up for a vote in the Senate, and for President Trump to work with Congress to allow the government to get back to work in service to the American people.

I am proud to have voted for each of the eight measures Democrats in the House of Representatives brought to the floor to end the shutdown and provide funding to government agencies.

I am glad to have voted to pass legislation to provide federal employees with back pay once the shutdown ends, but that does little to alleviate the pain of our nation’s public servants who went from living paycheck to paycheck, to paycheck to no check.

The more than 23,000 Maryland-based federal employees who are furloughed or working without pay have already missed one paycheck, and are now forced to contemplate the possibility of going an entire month – or even longer – without pay.

Every day the shutdown continues, the pain felt by the over 800,000 affected federal workers only increases as anxieties about how to pay rent, cover medical expenses, and provide for their families deepen.

On the 26th day of the Trump shutdown, I again voted to end the shutdown and fund government agencies. This shutdown has gone on for far too long. Read my full statement: https://t.co/8hDyisqoMu
