The Senate must reconvene Immediately A staggering 260,000 DHS employees and their families have gone without pay for more than a month This is not a time for any Senate recess—let alone an unusually long one Nor was it a good time to recess a month ago—at the beginning of the DHS shutdown—when the Senate recessed for ten days, ignoring my stern warnings about the dire consequences that decision would produce As it turns out, I was right; what I warned would happen has happened To double down on the same mistake now—and recess for not just for one week but for two—would be unforgivable Bad things happen when we make bad decisions And bad decisions are far more likely to occur when scheduling decisions are prompted more by a desire to let senators leave Washington—whether for international travel or just to go home—than to achieve favorable policy outcomes

80% of billionaire political spending goes to one party. Guess which one.
