Funding for children&rsquo;s health care and community health centers has lapsed; the opioid crisis has gone unaddressed; and hundreds of thousands of DREAMers have been left to live in limbo. This unwillingness to govern reached a peak on Friday, when Trump and Republicans brought us the Trump Shutdown rather than reach a deal on these critical, bipartisan priorities.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I persistently argued that we should keep the government open while we negotiate, but that we need a shorter timeframe &ndash; one- to three-day increments &ndash; to hold Trump&rsquo;s and McConnell&rsquo;s feet to the fire. Unfortunately, the Senate Majority Leader struck down the continuing resolutions that would have accomplished this.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My concern with the three-week extension adopted today is that the Republican leadership will fail to negotiate for 15 of the next 17 days. Furthermore, Leader McConnell&rsquo;s track record of keeping his &lsquo;commitments&rsquo; is thin at best. For that reason, I voted no today.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I stand ready to work with all of my colleagues to make urgently-needed progress on these critical issues facing the American people. It&rsquo;s past time that we governed &lsquo;of, by and for the people,&rsquo; not just for the privileged and powerful.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &ndash;
