Day 25. There is no reason for President Trump to keep the government shut down over his demands for an ineffective border wall. On day one, the Democrats passed legislation to reopen our government. Today, we are taking further action, bringing forward a continuing resolution to fund the government through February 1, giving the President and the Senate GOP yet another opportunity to end the shutdown, while allowing time for us to do our work and negotiate. President Trump should stop holding the health, the safety, and the paychecks of the American people hostage. We need border security, and Democrats stand strong on that issue, but we will not waste taxpayers' dollars. We will not waste billions of taxpayer dollars on an ineffective wall. Mr. President, Congress, open our government. ____________________
