Shutting down the government should be as off limits to budget negotiations as chemical weapons are to warfare. I was not for a government shutdown under President Obama. I'm not for a government shutdown under President Trump. I was not elected to shut down the government, I was elected to make it work for taxpayers.This is a complete failure of negotiations and a success for no one. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
