    The latest bill is a nonstarter & it has NO chance of enactment. Not only, does this bill fund 's stupid, offensive border wall, but it fails to provide nutritional assistance for Puerto Rico. I'm voting NO! Let's stop wasting time & work to keep gov't open!

    The has published an op-ed by Puerto Rico's Oversight Board that amounts to nothing more than a disingenuous defense of fiscal austerity. The argument "we have to cut benefits and make things harder on working families to create jobs" has long been debunked.
