Control A Warning To Politicians
Trump signed the $1.3 tril- lion spending bill hours after tweeting he was considering a veto.
“I will never sign another bill like this again, Trump said, scowling at the 2,000-plus page document. “Nobody has read it.”
“No one has been able to read it. You tell me who can read that quickly?!” Trump growled. “It takes time to read it.”
Trump complained that the legislation does not fully fund his plans for a border wall with Mexico and does not ad- dress some 800,000 ‘‘Dreamer’’ immigrants who are now protected from deporta- tion under a program that he has moved to eliminate. He said he signed it in order to provide needed money for the military.

The demonstration was inclu- sive, with young people from Chicago and Washington, D. C., speaking about how they have been impacted by gun violence.
One of the most powerful speeches according to reports, was 11-year-old Naomi Wadler, who told the crowd: “I am here today to acknowledge and represent the African-Amer- ican girls whose stories don’t make the front page of every na- tional newspaper.”
"We're going to make sure the best people get in our elections to run not as politicians, but as Americans. Because this -- this - - is not cutting it,” (the leader of the movement), David Hogg says, pointing to U. S. Capitol.
