    No one logged more miles, spent more time, and took more risk in support of deployed troops at Christmas than Bob Hope. 57 USO tours between 1941 and 1991. His wisdom resonates today: “If you haven’t got any charity in your heart you have the worst kind of heart trouble.”

    Today signed my bipartisan Second Chance Reauthorization Act I led with as part of criminal justice reform. This bill is critical to our efforts to stop the revolving door of incarceration & help former inmates live up to their God-given potential.

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Mr. President. Time to stop the ego-driven, childlike nonsense and get behind the commonsense bipartisan solution offered by Senate Democrats.

    Mr. President, yesterday you patted yourself on the back for signing the Farm Bill and TODAY you are closing all of the USDA field offices that farmers rely on?

    A would force more than 800,000 public servants to worry about their next paycheck, shutter 9 of 15 federal depts., cost taxpayers a bundle, & deny services to millions of Americans just days before Christmas.

    Instead of the President expounding upon his dubious knowledge of recent history and immigration policy, he should get behind our bipartisan solution, which has strong border security, and would keep the government open.

    FACT CHECK: Illegal border crossings are at historic lows, a 75% DROP since FY2000. If there were an “urgent need” to construct a costly wall, Pres. Trump would not have to rely on so many blatant falsehoods.

    A “Democrat Shutdown." Really? Memories don't fade THAT quickly. Let’s remember that time you went on live TV & said you’d be “proud” to shut down govt. over your costly bumper-sticker boondoggle wall.

    Democrats support strong border security. Always have…do now…always will. We DON’T support a costly bumper-sticker boondoggle.

    Mattis’ resignation letter makes it clear. “My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues.”

    You made a real difference on this, Mr. Chairman. The Senate functioned the way it’s supposed to — the way it used to. For the good of the country, I hope there’s more to come.

    To all the ppl who always disagree w my tweets bc I’m a Republican-what do u think of us passing bipartisan criminal justice reform that I’ve worked on for yrs???
