Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govOct 21(source)

The National Nuclear Security Administration has never furloughed workers before. Now, Trump is creating a “national security crisis” to put the blame on Democrats. Trump, stop playing politics with nuclear security. Work with us to reopen the government.
