This week I met with south Floridians to talk about the impact of the cruel Trump shutdown, so many sad stories. I learned about a TSA agent who just came back from maternity leave who had to send her baby to her mother in Massachusetts because she didn't have the money for daycare or Pampers. The air traffic controllers told me that their stress level is so high now, it is a danger to all of us. And I heard from the service providers of victims of domestic violence who are worried that their shelters are about to close. Now, Democrats, we support smart border security, not an ineffective, wasteful wall. But, listen, we can debate that at another time. Right now, we have to open our government so that we can get back to the business for the people. ____________________
