"The safety net is having a strong border because we're gonna be safe," Trump says, when @AprilDRyan asks him about people impacted by the shutdown and the social safety net.

The longer Trump stays in office, the more empowered he becomes. He’s getting stronger by the day in my opinion.

They’re trying to bully Trump out of office. It’s not going to happen and he knows this so he just keeps on moving. It’s a high possibility he’ll be in for another term.

@KFILENEW: VA secretary Robert Wilkie did not list his membership in pro-Confederate groups or speeches to them on his confirmation paperwork despite submitting a sworn affidavit he disclosed all speeches, published works and group memberships. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/04/politics/kfile-wilkie-confirmation-form/index.html …

SCOOP: Turns out Turkey can't defeat ISIS alone in Syria, as Trump promised. Turkey seeks so much U.S. military support to adopt fight in Syria that it will require more American force, not less. ⁦@WSJ⁩ https://www.wsj.com/articles/turkey-seeks-major-u-s-military-support-to-adopt-fight-in-syria-11546629658 …

Pete King, one of seven Rs to vote for Dem bill: "The president shouldn't always be listening to the Freedom Caucus."

Dems mostly standing firm, with one - Van Drew - questioning Pelosi tactics

But Rep. Rice - major Pelosi critic - says she "completely" backs Pelosi's position

This is truly amazing. The Justice Department admits that, under Trump, it effectively made up and misstated information to link immigrants to terrorism, but that it won't retract or correct the culprit report. https://wapo.st/2F4ThB8?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.36ed77e44b6c …

I'm in DC now and was in front of the white house. There is like a park in front of the front lawn and a bunch of benches and there was a restroom facility there that had a sign about "due to the shutdown, you can use the facilities, but workers will not be around to attend to them". As a result, the restrooms have an out of order sign on them since they are broken and no one is around to fix them and the water fountains had no running water. I had to run to one of those hotels across the street and I was legit worried things were about to go "badly"
The shutdown has ruined part of my vacation. All the Smithsonian institution museums are closed also .
