Patty Murray: “We cannot ignore it and we have to meet the milestones and we need to fund it.”

Tell Congress and the public what these interagency agreements actually cost taxpayers.

This is theft from the American people, plain and simple.

We should not have to remind you that using government funding to create or air political ads like the ones that have been running over the last few days is illegal and a shockingly corrupt misuse of taxpayer dollars.

While Trump spends tax dollars on ads promoting himself, Congress needs to reassert its powers to help people, and it’s past time Republicans join us in that fight.
