Shouldn’t Senate Dems introduce legislation providing full funding TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, etc.—and no new funding for ICE and CBP?
Seems like pretty good ground to fight on.
Offer to come back and pass it Tuesday.

As a young Black man, there were few more inspiring public figures to me than Barack Obama.
Trump’s racist post is abhorrent, and it is unsurprising that a disgraced, twice-impeached President would slander President Obama in such a disgusting way.
It must be condemned by every American.
