has a chilling ring to it.

Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan will go down in history as not only cowards but also criminal accomplices. imo

to nail trump on, but this ain't it.

Now if they find that the Coast Guard was unable to save lives during the coming storm because they couldn't buy fuel after the budget transfers, that might be different. But that isn't going to happen. Government budgets are pretty flexible, as they should be.

New: In addition to FEMA, money being transferred to ICE for detention operations also came from the Coast Guard budget to the tune of $29 million.
