Politician
Dec. 27, 2018
Tweet - "No end in sight to the President's government shutdown. He's taken our government hostage over his outrageous demand for a $5 billion border wall that would be both wasteful and ineffective."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 27, 2018
Tweet - "Enough. The deaths of eight-year-old Felipe and seven-year-old Jackelin a few weeks apart are evidence that Trump's "get tough" border policies are dangerous, especially to small children. In the name of our caring nation, Secretary Nielsen must go."
Sen. Dick Durbin
