To everyone celebrating in America and around the world, Merry Christmas!

Senator Chuck Schumer

It's Christmas Eve and President Donald J. Trump is plunging the country into chaos. The stock market is tanking and the president is waging a personal war on t...he Federal Reserve—after he just fired the Secretary of Defense.

Instead of bringing certainty into people’s lives, he’s continuing the #TrumpShutdown just to please right-wing radio and TV hosts. Meanwhile, different people from the same White House are saying different things about what the president would accept or not accept to end his #TrumpShutdown, making it impossible to know where they stand at any given moment. The president wanted the shutdown, but he seems not to know how to get himself out of it. As long as the president is guided by the House Freedom Caucus, it’s hard to see how he can come up with a solution that can pass both the House and Senate and end his #TrumpShutdown.
