Friday is supposed to be payday and the president is still pushing for the wall that is the sticking point on reopening government. He wants $5.7 billion for a border wall which Congressional Democrats steadfastly reject. White House Correspondent April Ryan says President Trumps speech tonight is meant to rally support for his wall.
I am pleased to inform you that I will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border. Tuesday night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern.

Congressman Adam Smith, the new Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, just stated, “Yes, there is a provision in law that says a president can declare an emergency. It’s been done a number of times.” No doubt, but let’s get our deal done in Congress!
