Trump and Republicans want to scare you. They want you to feel frightened and fall for their lies.
They did it days before the election, and they're doing it now because they know the People's House is going to hold them to account for their corruption.

The fact is: there are 800,000 workers who are suffering because of the #TrumpShutdown.
It's time Republicans stop playing games with people's lives — and #EndTheShutdown now. This manufactured crisis is not something the people can afford.

Worth remembering:
-Trump could end this stupid shutdown at any point, by saying “Let the rest of the govt function while we figure out The Wall.”
-McConnell could do it *tomorrow* by bringing up again the same budget resolution that passed Senate w/o opposition three weeks ago. https://t.co/GpiLAFBnD5— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) January 9, 2019
