HHS employees demand RFK Jr. resign for ‘compromising the health of this nation’

President Donald Trump criticized Republican Senate leadership Sunday for having supported a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without funding for two key immigration enforcement agencies, calling their actions “a shame.”

“It's a shame. They should really just go to a filibuster, they should terminate the filibuster and they should vote, that's what I think,” Trump told a reporter aboard Air Force One on Sunday.

“I think the Senate is playing it too soft – the Republicans. They're wonderful people, but we're dealing with very sick individuals – the Democrats are sick, there's something wrong, they're like terrorists!”

In the middle of the night last week, the Senate passed a bill to fund DHS and end the ongoing partial government shutdown that has sparked chaos and long lines at airports nationwide. House Republican leadership, however, rejected the bill and instead put forward their own alternative to fund DHS.
