filibuster rule in the senate. both things are not happening, so does he understand how this works? no, he doesn t, don. listen, this is the biggest wholesale failure legislatively of donald trump s administration. there s no two ways about that. recall he proposed a budget that cut a whole lot of domestic programs. all of those cuts were rejected. in fact, democratic priorities were funded in this bill. and so the fact that he tried to nuance his way into signing this frankly is a disappointment to his base. there s no other way around that. this is a complete abdication to the swamp, and donald trump signed a bill today that represents not only what we ve seen in the past, but something that republican congresses have eschewed in recent years. they gave him a larger domestic budget than anything president obama ever had, and donald trump signed it today. he caved. there s also breaking news tonight. i want to report the white house tonight announcing a plan to ban
next week. at least one democrat seems content with that. i don t a government shutdown coming but i do see a promise by senator mcconnell to finally bring this critical issue that affects the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in america, to finally bring it to a full debate in the senate. immigration is not the only issue when it comes to a budget agreement. there are disagreements over domestic and defense spending and sources say it s possible some republican defense hawks could vote against a short-term bill. nobly wants a government shutdown but we also cannot continue to inflict the damage on the military. you cannot increase defense and bleed the domestic budget to be a strong nation. we are still having this fight because they don t want to fund the domestic side.
