An issue is important to the presidents base, and he is digging in on this as he is heading into the new year with the democrats having control of the house. and today, president trump is sort of digging in on the demand for border legislation, and take a look at a his tweet from earlier this morning ashs and the republicans and the democrats must come together finally with a major border security package to include the funding for the wall, and after 40 years of talk, it is finally time for act...

They said it would stop family separations. thus far their draft bill doesnt actually do that. so what youre seeing is the president and some republicans using this outrage about family separations to say actually we should get all of these other policies that weve beenushing for, including ones that the president listed that have nothing to do with family separation. theres no reason that changing to a merit-based legal immigration system should affect these families at all. theyre saying if yo...

Oligarchs have around the world so you can really hurt putin where it counts, those financial sanctions. weve got to work closely with our allies and we need to respond in a serious way to their ongoing efforts to interfere with our democracy. strong statements from the president condemning those actions would be a good beginning and then making sure that weve put things in place to prevent them from ever doing it again, but this is about american leadership not just reacting to a oneoff but rea...
