If there was any doubt about who was rooting for a government shutdown, Trump let us know. The country would be better off if he would take an extended trip to Mar-a-Lago and let Congress work out a bipartisan agreement.https://twitter.com/halliejackson/status/960960226135601154 …

Equifax was the biggest data breach in U.S. history, and now the CFPB—under Trump’s management—puts the brakes on this investigation? That’s totally unacceptable. We cannot let the Trump Administration abdicate their responsibility to protect American consumers.https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/960468106169716737 …

Distorting intelligence information for political purposes is a gross abuse of power. Despite strong objections from his own Justice Department & FBI, Trump has compromised our national security—to protect himself. This is a clear attempt to derail Mueller's search for the truth.https://twitter.com/npr/status/959473211573448704 …

I recognize that this bill will not pass in the current GOP-controlled Congress but we still must organize for meaningful action on climate change. The public is way ahead of the Congress on this issue. Time to change that.

It’s a win-win-win—boosting middle-class pocketbooks, growing good-paying jobs, and reducing carbon pollution.

To sum up #SOTU: I liked "My fellow Americans." It was pretty much all downhill after that.

Should he decide to pursue an agenda that puts working families first—on economic issues, on infrastructure investments, on protecting our #Dreamers—@SenateDems stand ready to work with him. But if he refuses to change his ways, we will fight him tooth and nail. #SOTU

At every turn, Trump has broken promises to the middle class and made life harder for people in Maryland and across the country. #SOTU

The Administration’s unrelenting efforts to tear immigrant families apart and waste taxpayers’ money on an ineffective wall has put thousands of families in crisis. And in both word and deed, Trump has diminished our stature around the world and undermined our national security.

While Trump wants to take credit for every uptick in the stock market and one-time bonuses from major corporations, he refuses to acknowledge their sizeable layoffs and Wall Street paydays. #SOTU

He is quick to invoke the ‘forgotten’ men and women when it’s useful in a speech, but he didn’t give them a second thought when he passed enormous tax breaks for millionaires and corporations—and asked millions of American children, workers, and seniors to foot the bill. #SOTU

Instead of starting his presidency with a single bipartisan proposal, Trump made an all-out assault on Americans’ health care. #SOTU

The American people deserve a leader who spends less time patting his own back and more time having their backs. Unfortunately, what we’ve seen from Trump has been anything but real leadership. #SOTU

Just got back from #SOTU. Here are my thoughts: President Trump was eager to take credit for things he had nothing to do with and ignore the harm he has imposed on the country over the last year.
