Do not open until they approve the bill, as a govt employee, I am willing to wait for the security POTUS45 needs on the border! BuildTheWall

Then talk to “Chancy”!!

21 days it will takes forever a period of time.

nprpolitics Democrats should stop hurting Democrats?

nprpolitics The bill passed the House and only needs 9 or 10 Democrat votes to pass the Senate. So, the shutdown is clearly on the dems plain and simple!

Picket FOX news. They are the ones who goaded him into the shutdown. He is more afraid of their talking heads then concerned about the American people.

Ranting at the wrong person. Tell SpeakerPelosi and SenSchumer both the cause of the SchumerPelosiShutdown to pass a valid budget. POTUS will sign it and everybody is happy again.

Extremely heartbreaking to see 45 using them as Hostages 4 his Stupid WALL realDonaldTrump GOP GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR FEDERAL WORKERS

Our Good friend, neighbor was African American and he did odd jobs and my husband was the go getter for him. God blessed us w/this friend. 🙏

Our 2 Sons were toddlers the Union went on strike for cost of living raise 3 months, no pay our neighbor said come 2 work w/me , he did.

I feel for the people that live from pay check to pay check . Husband worked & retired from Goodyear AL we moved 4X to other states from Oh.

This would be a non-issue if they would fund the wall!

Why are Congressmen and Senators getting their paychecks?

Build the wall. Get paid. Simple.

The Dems need to vote for securing our borders as they did before and open the Gov

Cry us a River .. until We the American People get our Wall

NPR is an UNBIASED news orgaization, right? So why is every story on the shutdown negative towards Trump? There could be no shutdown without chuck and nancy, both of whom supported border security right up until 5 seconds before Trumps election.Political sewage, media meddling

Why can’t Pelosi not open the Govt.?

Rally on the border build the wall

. It's socialist democrats need to end the shut down. Democrat is careless border security and try to destroy US. Similar to Communist

They do deserve better!!!!! BUILD THAT WALL!!!

F... ‘em!😂😂🖕🏿😏

They're going to get their back pay. This happens everytime. The reporting is followed by Republicans or democrats in power.

We need the wall! Tell the dems to come up with funding for the wall and problem solved!!

nprpolitics Note that Covington KY is right across the river from Cincinnati. Protest rallies in *both* Ohio and KY. KY voters need to make sure their senior senator will feel consequences of waiting for 'negotiator-in-chief' to quit his hissy fit. Bring House bills to Senate floor for vote.

Awe

It's glorified Paid Vacation...

Haven't seen angel families stories! You guys are so biased.

This is the whole point! All other points are secondary. Message to Federal public servants: you thought you were working for the most trustable employer in the world. No. Rapidly descending to becoming the least trustable.

nprpolitics realDonaldTrump DO NOT OPEN THE GOVERNMENT until we get our wall. End of story. Defund NPR and PlannedParenthood and use that money to give bonuses to any good people affected. BuildTheWallNow

We mine as well be a communist state since the government holds people’s income hostage.

general strike, walk out!

President Trump: NO.

Directed towards democrats too.

Democrats that deny a Crisis across the Southern Border are Delusional and need Psychiatric help.

Make it known your not behind him

These Protestor are paid by the Dems to do there dirty work to make it look like they are the real deal. The Demsvhire the one of the People to make it look like everyday workers they are good but we are on top of there game. Cheaters and liars

Democrats, help keep America safe...build the wall AND open the government.

They really need to start targetting McConnell. This could end if he'd allow bills to be brought to the floor without waiting for a permission slip from Trump.

Finally

Fact: 4,000 illegals are in Texas prisons for sexual assault 62% of those assaults are against children, including American children A Wall would stop this. But Chuck and Nancy think $5.7 Billion is too high a price to protect our children from violent criminals and rapists

They should target Mitch McConnell's office. He won't even let the Senate vote.

After longest government shutdown in history, impacted workers’ frustration lingersAs furloughed workers await their back pay, some tell NBC News that they think the shutdown should not have happened in the first place. It’s not just federal workers who were affected, as contractors and companies catering to federal workers lost business. Thankyou I believe there are hundreds of thousands of extra employees, clean house, don’t pay them back Contractors will never recoup their loss either
