GOP Will Try to Divert Health, Education Funds for Wall
August 9, 2019 at 6:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


“Senate Republicans are looking to pay for President Trump’s border wall in part by putting about $5 billion less in the largest domestic spending bill,” Roll Call reports.

“That move signals a likely fight over wall funding, as well as over Trump’s ability to reprogram or transfer funds to the border, when the fiscal 2020 appropriations process resumes after Congress returns in September.”

to do what he wants? I honestly don't know the details, but from how this has been reported, he can take the entire freaking budget if he wants to and no one can stop him.
