The Trump Administration from projects to build on-base schools and daycare facilities to spend on his border wall.

The Kaine-Udall amendment has met its predictable end.

President Trump has not surprisingly vetoed a Congressional resolution to limit American support for the Saudi war on Yemen. His defense for doing so is utterly absurd.
