“This shutdown is different from earlier ones because Donald Trump and Russ Vought and all of their cronies are using this moment to terrorize these patriotic federal employees,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., standing with federal workers Tuesday outside the White House budget office.

Van Hollen said it’s “a big fat lie” when Trump and his budget director say the shutdown is making them fire federal workers. “It is also illegal and we will see them in court,” he said.

    As i see communities being uprooted and american holding cAmeras i don’t see many people upholding the values that you guys proclaim to be yours. These are the very fucking neighbours you are supposed to “LOVE”.

    What’s the privlige worth if you spend it on nothing but commentary? I guess it is more suffering that you need before you ACT. What do you hope for? Favorable midterms? I guess some familie just have to suffer through. I hope they chose a lighter skin colour in their next life.
