He is weaponizing hunger, turning millions of children, seniors and veterans into political pawns to score points in his shutdown fight.

We just need five more reasonable Democrats to do what the American people want us to do, to open up the government.

So I’m for paying our soldiers, paying our air traffic controllers, paying our employees — anybody that’s working ought to be paid.

But our Republican colleagues don’t seem to be offering anything different than what their leadership has had so far.

This has reached the point of insanity. Why are Americans having to suffer because of the political games?

Some people think now we have to double down on those things or we must become more progressive or more extreme.

No explanation, no justification, just plain cruelty from a man who only serves himself — Donald Trump is picking politics over the lives of hungry kids.
