I'm glad this didn't end in an unnecessary government shutdown, but stopgap spending bills are no way to run a country. President Trump must drop his unrealistic demand for a medieval border wall and work with Congress to enact commonsense border security. The seven Fiscal Year 2019 appropriations bills not yet enacted include: Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies; Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies; Financial Services and General Government; Homeland Security; Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies; State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs; and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies. -30- Print Email Tweet Next Article	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
