postmetrogirl is congress contributing sincethey r being paid?

Folks all of us collectively assists affected federal worker as I am doing in community. Thank you all.

FundTheWallNow or KeepItShutDown

Are they gonna give them homes too? Because if Trump persists with his stupid wall, they will be needing one soon

Americans caring about Americans. 45 could learn something from this. Oh that’s right he’s a genius and knows everything already. Teeny tiny heart made of concrete, no steel!

Making America Poor Again....this is on you now, McConnell senatemajldr

So, how long before there are lines in the street to buy toilet paper and milk? How long before the shutdown turns DC and Northern Virginia turn into 1980s USSR?

Glad to see this in DC. My hubby is a furloughed and I mentioned we will need to visit our local food bank here in NC!

Is there a way to contribute?

Will the homeless also be able to get food there?

P.S. Congress should pass a law requiring Trump to pick up his food at a food pantry, too. After all, he's a federal employee. And, definitely, non-essential.

I guess now more ppl will understand poverty while Trump will manufacture a National crisis to fully overthrow the gov't.

why did the us authorities choose Trump? Because they fear the confederation of the United States. Why did Trump withdraw troops from Syria? Because Gazprom belongs to the bank New York and Putin.

You mean all those UNNECCESARY workers that WILL BE PAID BACK PAY (from OUR TAXES, of course) when this 'shutdown' ends? If they are UNNECCESARY why are they working in the FIRST PLACE Not a way to run a business!!

Typical federal worker, good pay and still want freebies.

I can't believe this is happening in AMERICA especially to Federal Worker's who have dedicated their LIFE'S to PUBLIC SERVICE. As a dedicated PUBLIC Servant I feel like we have hit ROCK Bottom. Sad INDEED.

Im glad & im pissed these people have to suffer this way

May want to just keep it there since 27% of DC is on food stamps.

Thank arrogant Pelosi

Shall we also report on the people killed by illegal aliens? Oh, your resident clown reporters do not care!
