Congressman Mike Simpson @CongMikeSimpson - Video: Americans remember the 2013 shutdown, when Obama decided to lock down national parks and make the shutdown as painful as possible.
He even closed the open-air, 24/7 WWII Memorial — turning away veterans.
I applaud the Trump admin’s efforts to do the opposite and mitigate these negative impacts. But this is not sustainable, and Democrats should end their political games.

Congressman Rob Bresnahan Jr. @RepBresnahan - This is Washington Democrats saying the quiet part out loud. They would rather hold the federal government and the American people hostage over their demands than get back to work.

@WhipKClark, the number two House Democrat, on the Democrat Shutdown: "Of course there will be families that are going to suffer... but it is one of the few leverage times we have."
These people are SICK!

Congressman Tom Barrett @RepTomBarrett - The Democrats: Shutdowns cause the American people to suffer.
Also the Democrats: It's good for us politically.
Using people's livelihoods and financial security as leverage in a political game is shameful. Enough is enough.
