 The Government Shutdown
In late December, the government entered what would become the longest partial shutdown in history due to President Trump&rsquo;s demand for more than $5 billion to build an ineffective, immoral wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Truman released message guidance to our community and allies denouncing the situation, emphasizing that the shutdown was of the administration&rsquo;s own making and that the wall will do nothing to keep us safe. Truman members also published op-eds calling for an end to the shutdown, including a media hit in

USA Today , and Truman interim Executive Director Bishop Garrison appeared on MSNBC to advocate for federal workers and call for Congress pass existing legislation to reopen the government.

 Reception for New Members of Congress
On 09 January, Truman joined Council for a Livable World, Foreign Policy 4 America, and JStreet to welcome 24 new members of Congress. 

New members, incumbents, board members, and donors from all organizations joined the event at Sonoma, which was anchored by a speaking program that included leaders from each host organization as well as select members of Congress with experience in foreign policy and national security. The more than 100 attendees included Congressmen Jason Crow (D-CO) and Mike Levin (D-CA), who are both also Truman Political Partners. Also in attendance were Congresspersons Andy Kim (D-NJ), Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Sharice Davids (D-KS), and Jennifer Wexton (D-VA), as well as incumbent Congresspersons Joaquin Castro (D-TX), David Cicilline (D-RI), Anthony Brown (D-MD), and Rose DeLauro (D-CT).  

 For the People Act

 Last month, Truman threw support behind the first piece of legislation

proposed  by House Democrats: H.R. 1, the For the People Act. 

This legislation&mdash;extremely

popular  among American voters&mdash;is a comprehensive democracy reform package that aims to bolster our nation&rsquo;s voting, campaign finance, and ethics laws. Truman supports this bill because its efforts to provide for election security, full disclosures regarding digital political advertisements, and the removal of dark money&rsquo;s influence are all important to ensuring that only Americans choose our elected leaders&mdash;and that only American interests drive our policy decisions. Truman interim Executive Director Bishop Garrison

appeared  alongside Congressman John Sarbanes (D-MD), who sponsored the bill and is chair of the Democracy Reform Task Force, in order to demand that all members of Congress support the bill. &ldquo;Transparency, accountability, and defense of our institutions should not be partisan issues,&rdquo; Garrison said at the

Federal Employees Deserve Trump&rsquo;s Respect , by Scott Olson, Truman Political Partner

Since the very beginning, the Trump Administration has hemorrhaged talent at all levels, but most significantly among the senior civil service&mdash;those whose institutional knowledge and wise counsel are essential to the success of both foreign and domestic policy.

The Dangers of the DR-Congo&rsquo;s Post-Election Dispute , by Steven Leach, Truman Security Fellow

Undermining democracy today does not preserve democracy for tomorrow; instead, it weakens democratic institutions. Therefore, the electoral outcomes in the Congo must be respected and upheld.

Pentagon&rsquo;s Climate Change Report Lacks Analysis the Law Requires , by Mark Nevitt, Truman Defense Council

The report lacks the level of specificity and analysis required by law. Under the Obama administration, DoD climate policy was forward-leaning and innovative: It released the 2014 Climate Adaptation Roadmap and undertook several initiatives on alternative energy. This report is a step backward.

Populists Keep Winning the Messaging War in Europe Over Migration , by Laura Kupe, Truman Political Partner

Building on public anxieties around migration, far-right populist parties succeeded in sowing more discord across the continent, with many centrist and liberal politicians having difficulty formulating a response.

The Military&rsquo;s Place is Not at the Border , by Blake Hansen, Truman Defense Council

What started out as a publicity stunt to drum up support for his campaign-promise wall and highlight the &ldquo;national security crisis&rdquo; at the border has silently continued without any real conversations about the deployment of our armed forces within our own borders.
