Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Must be nice when corruption doubles as a refund.
Here's where "he'a a dictator" and "Trump's shutdown is about health care + kitchen table" go hand in hand. He's trying to steal $230M in taxpayer money to line his pockets, because dictators are corrupt and line their pockets, while taking away your health care and trashing the economy.
