Quote of the Day

“If Mexico isn’t going to be made to pay for a wall, that means funds must be found internally. As a wealthy man, the president might consider pledging some of his own funds as well. Whatever it takes, just so long as we don’t add to the debt that is bankrupting our great country.”

— Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC), quoted by Roll Call.
