Trump has ordered a series of bombings on Venezuelan and Colombian boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean in recent months, killing at least 80 people.

It's hard to argue you care about the working class while you're fighting to not fund SNAP payments. It's hard to argue Democrats are to blame for the shutdown when your party controls all of Congress.
