As of this writing, it looks as though the government will shut down, briefly, thanks to GOP holdout Sen. Rand Paul, who’s taking a stand on wasteful government spending.
The Senate has adjourned until 12:01 a.m. A vote is not anticipated until around 1 a.m., meaning the government will officially enter a brief shutdown. https://t.co/xsCjyLY2y7 pic.twitter.com/dGaRC6D6Es

Though a lot of legislators were frustrated that Paul had thrown a wrench into the works, Bette Midler thought she too would chime in.
Where’s Rand Paul’s neighbor when we need him?

His neighbor? The guy who assaulted him and left him with five broken ribs? That’s funny.
The tolerant left at it again https://t.co/BFee6DWzk9

Pleading guilty to felony assault that left a member of congress in excruciating pain for weeks. Delete your account. https://t.co/vpmSsVR0rA

Rep. Steve Scalise’s shooting must have really cracked her up.

Wow, you're sick, Bette. You know he was shot at and beat? Wishing harm against people you don't agree with politically is how we end up with holocausts. You should look inside yourself and ask why you have a tyrant inside of you. https://t.co/fW4pAvuOD3

Here's another liberal encouraging violence against Republicans. The left has no shame. They are full of hate for their country and anyone who disagrees with them. https://t.co/ubXDyZ6HVs

I made sure i saved this tweet so I can show everybody how you are advocating violence against a sitting senator. What a great role model you are.
