In a pair of tweets, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada said, “Sadly, President Trump has brought our country into yet another crisis right before the holidays. We should be working together to end to this shutdown.”

“I cannot take a salary during a government shutdown knowing that so many federal workers in Nevada and across the country will go without pay,” she added.

As The Hill reported on Saturday, “The Nevada Democrat also donated her salary to constituents during a government shutdown in January.”

This is the third Trump shutdown in one year
