Thune Says Democrats Refuse Negotiations as DHS Shutdown Reaches 25 Days
Sen. John Thune is turning up the pressure on Democrats as the DHS shutdown stretches on, accusing them of refusing real negotiations while trying to fund only the Homeland Security agencies they politically approve of. Thune’s criticism comes after repeated Senate fights over DHS funding. Democrats blocked another effort to move the bill forward last week, keeping the department partially shut down since February 14.
