Senate Democrats make strong bid for Clever Bill Title of the Week

U.S. Senate Democrats, including Nevada’s Catherine Cortez Masto, announced Monday they have introduced the “Restrictions Against Illegitimate Declarations for Emergency Re-appropriations Act. Or as they like to call it, the “RAIDER” Act.

If passed, the bill would prohibit the president from declaring a national emergency to spend money on his wall, which he frequently half-threatens to do.

“President Trump shouldn’t be raiding essential funding from American recovering from natural disasters, or from our critical military infrastructure to pay for his vanity project,” Cortez Masto said.
