Adam Parkhomenko: There's a big difference between conspiracy theories and criminal conspiracies.
@AdamParkhomenko
Mark Price: The Raise the Wage Act would raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hr by 2024. You can't exist on $7.25 an hour unless you're sofa surfing w/ friends & going to food banks.
@price_laborecon @KRC_PA @PBPC @Fightfor15 #RaisetheWageAct
John Fetterman: My wife is a former Dreamer and now she's the Second Lady of PA while the federal gov't is shut down over a nonsensical border wall.
@JohnFetterman
Justin Duckham: There was an opinion piece claiming that the #TrumpShutdown shows we don't need many federal employees--they were just there to hinder Trump in his agenda.

Rebecca Vallas: Remember back in 2016 when Republicans began their quest to remove Americans' healthcare--not just the ACA but also Medicare/Medicaid. #TrumpShutdown

Sara Nelson: I was at a union meeting with about 50 other flight attendants when the news came in about Flight 1549. We started crying, thinking everyone would die. We rejoiced when we learned *everyone* survived. #1u @FlyingWithSara @afa_cwa #MiracleOnTheHudson
Luke N. Vargas: I don't see how there can be an agreement on Brexit. There are five options & Theresa May's plan was dead in the water. @thecourier @TalkMediaNews

Sarah Kendzior: They're trying to take over international bodies such as the World Bank, not just countries like in Europe & Brazil. It's easier to keep the money flowing if they control the World Bank.

Propane Jane: Texas doesn't want The Damn Wall. It's completely idiotic, futile, and won't solve any problems. #TrumpShutdown
@docrocktex26 #InstabilityInChief
Bob Ney: The Green New Deal is fascinating, and it's something that will actually appeal to Texas. Even people who work in coal mines where I live realize solar and wind energy can be brought to other states.

Tony Reardon: I hope American citizens contact their representatives to demand federal workers be removed from the equation & be paid immediately, incl back pay.
@NTEUnews www.nteu.org
Larry Hanley: It's incomprehensible. This is the largest lockout of workers in American history, possibly even world history.
@Larryhanley @ATUComm #TrumpShutdown
Sam Berger: Shutdowns are bad for business, no matter what business you're in. There's no need to have them, especially for a President who uses them when he's upset with his coverage on Fox News.

Bob Ney: I think the jackpot is #Medicare4All. Whether there will be copays or not we don't know yet, but either way it'll be wildly popular.
