If our troops, air traffic controllers, and border patrol agents aren't paid and Americans are thrown into turmoil during a government shutdown, then Congress shouldn't be paid. I'm asking for my pay to be withheld during the Democrat Shutdown until we fund the government.

Happy 250th Birthday to the Few, the Proud, the @USMC! From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, the Marines have always been on the front lines of our country’s battles and wars. Thank you for 250 years of faithful service. Semper Fidelis!

Americans are facing more flight delays and cancellations due to Democrats' Government Shutdown. If Democrats continue their Government Shutdown, millions of people won't be able to fly for Thanksgiving or Christmas. End the Democrat Shutdown now.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned as many as 20% of flights could be canceled if the government shutdown drags on.

This outrageous and wrong Democrat Government Shutdown is now the longest in US history. It is wrong because it should have never happened. Although Republicans have 53 Senators, we need 60 votes to pass the clean CR and reopen the government. Democrats, do your job TODAY!

Democrats don’t care about the thousands of federal workers, including air traffic controllers and NNSA employees, who have gone over one month without a paycheck. This Democrat Government Shutdown must end. The pain the Democrats are causing Americans is inexcusable.

If your flight is cancelled; If you wait in a TSA line or sit on a runway for hours; If you lose access to food stamps; If you're a federal worker not being paid; You can thank Democrat politicians who view you as leverage to prolong their Government Shutdown.

Democrats have caused the longest Government Shutdown in history because they want a multi-trillion-dollar wishlist of Far-Left spending. Americans are being used as political pawns by Democrats who want to hurt our nation with their socialist agenda. It's shameful and sad.
.@POTUS: "We have a shutdown because the Democrats... they're crazy. They don't care if they hurt the country... We're not going to give $1.5 trillion to people that came into our country illegally — we're not going to do it."

The House did its job. The truth is, this Democrat Government Shutdown is driven by Chuck Schumer, and it is ridiculous and wrong. Essential programs like SNAP would be immediately funded if Senate Democrats vote for the CLEAN CR. Democrats must do their job NOW!

Throughout this Democrat Government Shutdown, federal workers at the Department of Energy have been working tirelessly without pay. I want to thank @SecretaryWright for his outstanding leadership and all the DOE employees who are working hard to make America energy dominant.

The longest shutdown in U.S. history didn’t happen by accident - it’s the result of Democrats repeatedly choosing politics over people. House Republicans remain united in our fight to reopen the government and deliver relief to Americans who need it most.
Chuck Schumer has dragged America into a sixth week of this Democrat Government Shutdown, the longest in US history. The impact has been horrific, and it will only get worse. It is time for Senate Democrats to DO THEIR JOB and reopen the federal government.

Democrats must end their insanity and end their government shutdown immediately! Americans are suffering because of Democrat politicians' political games. It is sad and shameful that Democrats continue to play games with the lives of hardworking Americans.

It’s Day 36 of the Schumer Shutdown. Democrats are still forcing the American people to suffer for “leverage.” The American people aren’t pawns. End the Schumer Shutdown.

While Democrats continue their Government Shutdown, my @HouseAppropsGOP colleagues and I have been meeting with the real Americans paying the price for Democrats' Government Shutdown. I've met with small business owners, federal workers, and Tennesseans who rely on federal
The shutdown gets worse for people each day—yet House Democrats who instigated it aren’t even home to answer to those they represent. Appropriators are meeting face-to-face with constituents while Democrats stage D.C. photo-ops. The contrast is telling:

Democrats just voted for the 14th time to keep our government closed and not pay our air traffic controllers and TSA Agents. The Democrat Government Shutdown is causing havoc at airports and in the skies right before the busy holiday travel season. Democrat politicians must end
🚨More than 3 MILLION passengers have been impacted by staffing related delays or cancellations since the Democrat Shutdown began.

For the fourteenth time, @SenateDems have chosen politics over paychecks, voting once again to keep the government closed. This is a betrayal of the American people. Shameful.
Today marks the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history, all because @SenateDems are blindly following @SenSchumer. He’s dragging this out because he’s terrified of a primary challenge and because Democrats would rather fund healthcare for illegal immigrants than

Thank you to all workers who continue to do their jobs while Democrats freeze their paychecks and keep our government closed. We stand with our airport police, air traffic controllers, TSA agents, NNSA employees, and all federal workers who serve the American People.
.@SecretaryLCD: "I'm talking to all of you American workers out there — we're here for you. We're going to continue to fight through this shutdown and I am BEGGING these Democrats to show up, do their job, and open up this government... enough is enough."

Every American experiencing flight delays, cancellations, and long TSA lines can thank Democrats for causing havoc at airports. It only takes 5 Senate Democrats to vote to reopen the government and pay our air traffic controllers and TSA agents. End the Democrat Shutdown now.

There's no reason for Americans to continue suffering because of Democrats' Government Shutdown. Today, there will be the 14th vote to reopen our government. Democrats must stop blocking the reopening of our government and allow air traffic controllers & TSA agents to be paid.
Travelers at Newark Airport on the impacts of the government shutdown: "To be in the airport for ten hours, just waiting — I feel sorry for these guys." Democrats have yet ANOTHER opportunity to end their disastrous shutdown today.
