senatemajldr Shame on you for kowtowing to trump while 1 million people or more suffer. Are there no federal employees in Kentucky? Do they know how heartless and mean you are?

Maybe the ones patrolling Mar-a-Lago should call in sick since Trump does not feel obligated to have them paid.

If Speaker Pilosy would only compromise and agree to fund a barrier the government can reopen. Dems have been voting for wall funding since they hoodwinked President Reagan for concessions and then backed out. Talk is cheap. Put up the money!

So wrong

Maybe you shouldn't choose a job that pays so little. —Republicans

So sorry guys. Maybe if democrats cared about you they would do what almost every damn one of them have around their house.

Democrats are at fault, CNN needs to stopcovering for guilty party and tell them, the democrats to open government.

Mr. Bully should be proud when you eating caviar and some of us don't have money to a burger, only for one stupid wall, wow what human being you are.🏅🏅

POTUS should change this. Obama finally did during his shutdown due to public backlash. Plus it took a private, non-profit group the Fisher House Foundation to pay the death benefits during the shutdown. More than 20 died during obama shutdown.

How much do Democrats care about these COASTAL WORKERS THEY WONT EVEN NEGOTIATE!

Trump and his bitch Mitch own this

It's ok. They do it out of honor, and love for country. Right? They are not common mercenaries loyal only to gold... like their overlords.

Coast Guard...Armed Forces...lol

Call your local dem politicians and tell them to send our president a bill he can get behind. Pelosi knows Trump won't sign it without the funding.. therefore it is her and the dems fault that the gov. remains closed. He's waiting 'pen in hand' for the dems to get over themselves

This was one of Trump's promises. He is following up on it. Besides, he's asking for 8 billion dollars. THIS IS ONLY 10% OF THE MONEY US THE TAXPAYERS GIVE AWAY EVERY YEAR FO FOREIGH COUNTRIES. Some of whom hate us. He lowered it to 5.7. Dems still said NO!!!

Somebody run iut to the beach in Puerto Rico and let the democraps know - but please don’t interupt their plays or bribe negotiating with al the lobbyists! POTUS is still in the WH waiting! POTUSStandYourGround BuildTheWallNow BuildTheDamnWall

So do they melt or just vanish in a puff of smoke? This is serious!

But the liar in chief loves the troops.

Not true, during the Clinton shutdown the military was not paid, it was mid month and we were paid in full at the end of the month! It really had no affect . I hope the dems come to their senses and work with the pres to end this!

This is another example of this disgraceful situation . It is embarrassing to be an American.

Ayman Mohyeldin is joined by retired Rear Admiral Cari Thomas to hear what the U.S. Coast Guard is doing to help unpaid members of its family as they prepare to miss yet another paycheck this week. Fake News He really has insulted this branch, if you recall he said something about rebranding it. I suspect he is trying to bring their leaders to their knees over something he wants. Pray they get through this shitshow M McConnell has refused to bring 9 bills of which some were bipartisan to the senate floor for a vote to open the government: Putin Trump and Hitler McConnell have abdicated their oath to office and to the constitution and to the people : This is fascism front and center !

Coast Guard head: Service members relying on food pantries 'unacceptable'The commandant of the US Coast Guard said it is 'unacceptable that Coast Guard men and women have to rely on food pantries and donations to get through day-to-day life' during the partial government shutdown Kind of hypocritical to have your first line of defense going to food pantries.
