I’ve never witnessed a shutdown where the President of either party has told congressional leaders to not negotiate at all.
He's choosing to raise health care costs for millions of families.
Prime Minister Netanyahu must end the constant expansion of settlements into the West Bank.
The Constitution is clear — he can’t run again.

President Trump's bombings of boats off the coast of Venezuela are illegal.
