This should be a problem we all care about on an ideological level. Dr. Brennan also explains that basic human rights

These are wildly popular programs, and we all know someone who relies on them. Maggie also looks at Section 4 of the CR. There's a sneaky section that keeps Donald Trump's tariffs in place, and there's not a darn thing Congress can
