Brett Pransky

Brett Pransky: This isn't really about Donald Trump and The Wall. It's about whether or not he can push his agenda through. #TrumpShutdown

Bob Ney

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.

Jamie Martin: I've spend a lot of time in jails & prisons because that's where I do most of my research. Some of the people definitely should never be let out but there are a lot of low-level criminals doing inordinate amts of time. @APSCUF @jmartin_iup

Khary Penebaker: I thought it was great the Fox News Propaganda Channel was fact-checking Trump's speech last night. Pelosi & Schumer got better ratings than Trump did. @kharyp #GunViolence Survivor @Everytown Survivor Fellow @MomsDemand @NoRA4USA

 

Justin Duckham: We have Mike Pence saying Democrats need to come back to the table when Trump literally walked away from the table.

Leigh Chapman: We need to build momentum--call your senators and call them to support HR-1.
@LChapmanEsq @civilrightsorg civilrights.org

Phil Glover: We have three days to go here; about 400,000 federal workers will be going on the unemployment rolls. That will be hard on the states.
@PhilGlover15 @AFGENational #TrumpShutdown

Scott Dworkin: I didn't attend the protest in DC today b/c I received 8 threats, one of them serious, & my security team refused to allow me to attend.
@funder @TheDemCoalition #TrumpShutdown #DworkinReport

Luke N. Vargas: The Syria withdrawal issue looks so convoluted b/c there's no real strategy.

Helaine Olen: We're finally pushing back at the narrative that Americans don't deserve to be taken care of--#MedicareForAll, #infrastructure, etc.
@helaineolen

Propane Jane: Trump wrote a check with his mouth that his ass couldn't cash. He makes braggadocious statements like, "I"m going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it."
@docrocktex26 #InstabilityInChief

Bob Ney: The President can pretty much do whatever he wants...until Congress tells him he can't. Does The Wall rise to the level of a national emergency?

Sarah Kendzior: I wish people would also look at the harassment. Advertising is getting the attention but harassment was important--it drove women off social media, they were less likely to stand up for themselves, to admit they were Hillary supporters. @sarahkendzior

Red T Raccoon: They're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I'm glad you were paying attn to the ruling on the ACA, Rick. @RedTRaccoon

Luke N. Vargas: I'm getting conflicting reports on gov't shutdown. AP says a brief shutdown looks likely; NYT says probably no shutdown. @thecourier

Peter Morley: I think constantly about the people who can't even get access to healthcare, & I fight for them, too.

Propane Jane: Jan 3rd when the new Congress gets sworn in & Nancy Pelosi gets her gavel.
@docrocktex26

Bob Ney: It's not just the Russians who are paying people to go online and post things--it's happening with the Saudis and others as well.
