In her first House floor speech, @AOC pulls no punches:— Billy Freeland (@policyjunkie) January 17, 2019
“The truth of this shutdown is that it is not about a wall, it is not about the border...The truth is, this shutdown is about the erosion of American democracy and the subversion of our most basic governmental norms... pic.twitter.com/K01v8a8POE
Which returns us to the question: why are we letting this happen? Why do we think this is normal and even required by our Constitutional form of government? This is not the example of a government of laws, this is the perfect example of a government of men (almost explicitly "men").
”It is not normal to hold 800,000 workers’ paychecks hostage. It is not normal to shut down the government when we don’t get what we want.“— FrancescoFrancavilla (@f_francavilla) January 17, 2019
