Senate votes shortly on canceling MF45's nation emergency on border

REMINDER: This vote is TODAY. Call your Senator now
and tell them to end Trump's abuse of power and terminate
the so-called national emergency.





President Trump's national emergency declaration is an illegal attempt to violate the laws passed by Congress and override congressional funding restrictions in order to build his border wall. It's a dangerous expansion of presidential power and an assault on Congress' role as a co-equal branch of the government. Worse yet, he's reportedly considering to do it again. Our elected officials must fulfill their oaths to defend the Constitution and swiftly end this constitutional crisis.


I don’t think this is on cspan, that I can find

to border emergency fantasy. The other, unfortunately, is embedded deep in the MF’s ass that it isn’t worth a phone call.
