Today we’re voting on whether @POTUS can bypass Congress and trample on our Constitution so he can steal money from the military & use eminent domain to waste billions of dollars on a medieval wall.
A wall he promised Mexico would pay for.

Watch Live: On the Senate floor speaking out against @POTUS’ national emergency declaration → facebook.com/senbennetco/vi…
So, how did we get here?
- Trump said Mexico would pay for his wall (they refused)
- GOP Senate & House refused to fund wall, so instead gave $1.3B for fencing (which Trump hasn’t spent)
- Trump made the wall his #1 issue in midterm election (GOP lost 40 House seats)

- Trump shut down the government for 35 days (inflicting serious damage on families & our economy)
- Congress again refused to fund the wall, so instead gave Trump another $1.4B for fencing
- @POTUS declared a #FakeTrumpEmergency to get around Congress (and our Constitution)
