This is Trump’s shutdown. He and the Republicans are in the Majority (for now) and they must reach across the aisle to resolve this shutdown. Simply sitting back and waiting for Dems to cave on their stance out healthcare challenges, is irresponsible.
The government shutdown has entered its 36th day, breaking the record as the longest ever and disrupting the lives of millions of Americans with federal program cuts, flight delays and federal workers nationwide left without paychecks.

Best campaign ad I've seen in years. As different from Collins as a person can get. I don't live in Maine, but I may just write my first check for a candidate in years. Make Collins concerned for her life as much as she's made us concerned for ours.
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
