Via Eric Michael Garcia, MSNBC:

Lisa Murkowski:

“Our phones have been ringing off the hook all morning, wondering what it means, how long it's going to last, everything from a small dam project, small hydro project down in the Angoon area, to people concerned about everything from housing to water infrastructure projects.”

@GottaLaff Watching Karoline Leavitt’s first press conference. She got huffy after being asked 4 questions on this issue, which she mostly sidestepped. The only specific she offered was that no direct assistance to people (SS, Medicare, etc) would be frozen. Huffy started when she was pressed for a list, where Meals on Wheels was offered as an example of non-direct aid. So here we are, waiting for 5 o’clock when the music stops.

@GottaLaff
The irony of this is that so many of the people who will be affected voted for Trump: farmers and people who live on farms; construction workers and laborers, and many elderly people on fixed incomes and on assistance programs who will find themselves unable to put food on their tables.

They are on the brink of learning that Trump and his allies never cared at all about them. Billionaires care only for their own and all others are merely instruments by which they serve themselves.

@deGrene They'll blame Dems

@GottaLaff
They will, certainly, so it is imperative that we retake Congress two years from now and restore that which is taken away. They will no longer be able to deny who is responsible.
