Jim Himes: ‘There Is No Money for a Ridiculous Border Wall’ in Funding Bill

EXCERPT:

HIMES: "I think we got an awful lot of the things that we were hoping for and we kept out a lot of the things that we considered a bad idea. There is no money for a ridiculous border wall in this thing, Planned Parenthood funding is preserved, there's no riders that are in there that are typically about hard right social policy. You know, money to help the people of Puerto Rico, a plus up of the National Institutes of Health. We feel pretty good about this. Now, do we feel perfect? Of course not, but that is the definition of success."
