President Barack Obama declared a national emergency in 2009 during the swine flu outbreak. President George W. Bush declared a national emergency the day after the 9/11 attacks.

Those were national emergencies.
Donald Trump holding federal workers and key parts of the federal government hostage to extort more than $5 billion from Congress to build his border wall is *NOT* a national emergency.
Today's declaration is an abuse of power -- a lawless, desperate attempt to distract people from Trump's failure to deliver on his core campaign promise to get Mexico to pay for his a border wall.

Since he brought up the economy, remember this:

🚫 He and Republicans forced a $1.3 trillion #GOPTaxScam that rewarded Sheldon Adelson with $670,000.000.00.

🚫 He shut down the government costing our economy $11,000,000,000.00.

#SOTU
FACT: the #GOPTaxScam has not come close to creating the jobs Trump promised. If anything, companies have been laying off workers while setting a record $1 trillion in stock buybacks. No one is fooled here. #SOTU
When he says that the economy is 'booming', remember that Trump and Republicans sold out Medicare, Medicaid and middle class families to wealthy people & corporations by giving them $1.3 trillion in un-paid for tax cuts. #SOTU

Today, we honor the memory of this great American by answering his call to serve. Whether that means volunteering at a local food bank, donating old clothes, or even taking a few moments to visit a sick relative or friend -- we are stronger when we work together. #MLK2019
We've certainly come a long way -- and if recent events have taught us anything, it's that we still have a lot of work ahead of us. But Dr. King also said something else I want you to take to heart. He said: "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."
We can do better. We will do better. As long as we continue to serve one another, we can build a brighter future for all families. -NP

Trump and Republicans want to scare you. They want you to feel frightened and fall for their lies.

They did it days before the election, and they're doing it now because they know the People's House is going to hold them to account for their corruption.
They had complete control of the White House, the House and the Senate for two years. A border wall *was not* a priority. Republicans instead focused on giving wealthy people and big corporations nearly $2 trillion in tax cuts.
The fact is: there are 800,000 workers who are suffering because of the #TrumpShutdown.

It's time Republicans stop playing games with people's lives -- and #EndTheShutdown now. This manufactured crisis is not something the people can afford.

According to the Federal Register, 58 national emergencies have been declared since the National Emergency Act of 1976 was signed into law by President Gerald Ford. abcnews.go.com/Politics/list-…

Hillary Clinton has all of our encryption keys, including the FBI's. "Encryption keys" is a general reference to several encryption functions hijacked by Hillary and her surrogate ENTRUST.
They include hash functions (used to indicate whether the contents have been altered in transit), PKI public/private key infrastructure, SSL (secure socket layer), TLS (transport layer security), Dual_EC_DRBG NSA algorithm (Dual Eliptical Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generator)
and certificate authorities. The convoluted structure managed by the gutless agency chief information officer "Federal Common Policy" group says it has "hundreds" of certificate authorities, but this is a material lie.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
