Bennie Thompson: “This is not only an outrageous lie but also incredibly dangerous.”

That kind of talent, you just don't find it every day.

There you have it. House Republicans have an hour to debate a nonbinding symbolic resolution but not even a few seconds to do the job that would actually pay our DHS workers. This is the Republican DHS shutdown.

At a time when DHS is rightly warning about an elevated threat environment from terrorists and cartels, we should be focused on plugging security gaps rather than senselessly creating new ones.

Suffice to say, disaster response is no joke.
