"Every dollar diverted away from our men & women in uniform & towards Pres. Trump's border wall was appropriated by Congress to address a need identified by our military. The latest reprogramming is an attack on both Congress' power of the purse & our nation's military readiness."

"I introduced the Restoring Military Priorities Act of 2020 to reverse and restore Trump's short-sighted & dangerous money grab and to reassert Congress' Constitutionally-granted powers of appropriation."

"You can read more about my bill, which I introduced alongside @SenatorLeahy, @SenJackReed, @SenBrianSchatz, @SenDougJones, & 27 others here:"
