Congress just made history: This afternoon the Senate voted to end Donald Trump's fake national emergency—in a bipartisan move to reassert congressional control over an out-of-control president who is abusing his power and pitting communities against each other with his racist, anti-immigrant agenda.1 The House already overwhelmingly passed the same measure. It's a historic rebuke of a sitting president.
However, 41 Republican senators voted to support Trump's unconstitutional, illegal actions—including Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado, Senator Martha McSally of Arizona, and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, all three of whom spoke out against the fake emergency, but, ultimately, failed to stand up to Trump.
Senators Gardner, McSally, and Tillis are up for reelection next year, and all three are in swing states. We've got to hold them accountable for their cowardice.
WATCH THIS SPACE once the inevitable veto comes

Could this finally be the crack in the wall? Rubio’s aide told us 2 weeks ago the senator was “considering the constitutionality”. Hmmm.
