Today’s Action: Not one cent more for border terror – #DefundHate
Last night, the House passed a spending bill that includes $5 billion for Trump’s border wall. This comes in direct conflict with the Senate, which passed a temporary funding bill through February 8 with *no* increased funding for Trump’s crazed xenophobia. With Congress in disagreement, we are now likely facing a partial government shutdown, as the deadline for the spending bill is today.
Democrats don’t want a government shutdown, which could leave hundreds of thousands of government workers without pay over the holidays. This is an artificial Republican crisis, brought on by Trump’s insistence in a hateful border wall campaign promise — that he swore Mexico would pay for. We cannot accept one more cent of funding for Trump to continue tear-gassing asylum-seekers and placing children in prisons.
With the new House entering in under two weeks, Democrats now have leverage to hold firm and stop ANY additional funding for Trump’s border agenda.
We’re about to enter a new era in the Trump presidency, in which he doesn’t get to bully Congress into everything he wants. We made our feelings clear at the polls, and it’s now time for Republicans in Congress to understand the shift that has occurred and for Democrats to use their upcoming majority for righting the wrongs of the past two years.
But we shouldn’t wait until January 3rd, because time is not on Trump’s side right now — jump on the phones today to #DefundHate.
