Phil Glover: Look at the large Fentanyl bust in Philly; you're not building a wall around Philadelphia. Trump isn't looking at the details--he's using bumper sticker mentality
@PhilGlover15 @AFGENational
Congressman Mike Levin CA-49: We're not going to let Pres Trump get away with declaring a Nat'l Emergency. We'll challenge it in court.
@MikeLevinCA
Sarah Burris: Let's strap a goat on his back and find him a Sherpa and let him go. I'm sure he doesn't even know where Everest is.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Bob Ney: Trump will get to keep The Wall as a campaign issue for 2020, and he'd like this to continue to be thrashed out in Congress. He gets another week of "what are they going to do?" in the media.

Helaine Olen: The best way to stop cuts to Social Security is by screaming for increases in Social Security--it immediately changes the conversation. Sometimes we have to go on the offensive instead of always being on defense.
@helaineolen @washingtonpost
Joe Tankersley: Technology is neutral; it's up to us to decide how to employ it. There are side effects to everything & we need to be aware of that.
@joe_tankersley #reimaginingtomorrow
Justin Duckham: If someone gives you immunity, don't turn around and do something that would jeopardize your immunity. AMI could take a lesson from that.

Richard Ojeda: I put up a resolution as a WV Senator to look into Appalachia Power--there were single-wide trailers on the side of a mountain with $700 heating bills. People were wrapping homes in plastic to try to cut down on bills. @VoteOjeda2020
Melea Mayen: None of us want to be on strike; my students are very supportive but it pains me to be away from them. We've been in negotiations for 15 months but the district didn't take it seriously.
@MFoleyMayen #DCTA #DCTAStrike
Marty Kich: There is shared governance at WSU, where long-term professors have input on university, and that was one of the things they were going after.
@aaupwsu @AAUP #fighting4wright
Luke N. Vargas: The economic concerns of this country are very palpable right now.

John Samuelsen: There have been elements of the Green New Deal around for several years. Even if it isn't AOC's brain child, she gets credit for putting it in the main stream. @transportworker @samuelsentwu

Propane Jane: We knew we would end up here. Susan Collins sat up there and pretended she didn't know Kavanaugh would vote to overturn Roe v Wade.

Bob Ney: They shouldn't give up the Iowa caucus; the people who can should show up, and then bring in virtually the people who can't attend.
