Trump in 2017 said-
"President Donald Trump accused Qatar on Friday of funding terrorism "at a very high level"

Is it just me, but is it a dumb idea to offer student loan forgiveness to people to become ICE? I'm pretty sure most of them never went to college. I'm fairly certain some of them didn't complete high school.

Republicans caused this shutdown, and instead of coming back to DC to fix it, they’re on vacation.

The result? 15 million Americans will lose health insurance, 22 million will face higher healthcare costs, and the economy will continue to suffer.

It’s time to get to work, House Republicans.
