Last week, I gave my first speech on the House floor and told the stories of #CA45 families that have been hurt by the #TrumpShutdown. It’s time the President stop playing politics with their lives and get these folks their paychecks. (thread)
Aubrey’s family has filed paperwork to borrow against their 401(k). Borrowing against her 401(k) will come with large tax penalties, but she’s part of a single-income household living on a federal government wage. #ShutdownStories
Melinda has been working for a government agency for over 30 years. She’s debating taking out a loan and researching whether she can file for unemployment. She just paid the tuition for one of her kids at college, so she doesn’t have the means to go without a paycheck.
