    We’re barreling toward a Trump shutdown in hours. Yet Rules Committee Republicans literally used emergency procedures to bring up a bill today... on cheese. They don’t have time to discuss keeping the lights on, but cheese ranks as a national emergency. Are you kidding me?

    We all take an oath to protect and defend our country. Border security is an important part of that oath. Your wall will fail in the Senate tomorrow, Mr. President. America cannot afford a .

    Soon to be Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, last week live from the Oval Office, that the Republicans didn’t have the votes for Border Security. Today the House Republicans voted and won, 217-185. Nancy does not have to apologize. All I want is GREAT BORDER SECURITY!

    This is good news for the many women and children who are fleeing persecution by gangs and abusive spouses. Now we must end the Trump administration’s deadly and irresponsible practice of turning away these same asylum seekers at ports of entry!

    BREAKING: A federal court permanently struck down a Trump administration policy gutting asylum protections for immigrants fleeing domestic violence and gang brutality. This ruling is another defeat for the Trump administration’s all-out assault on the rights of asylum seekers.
