    OK @BenSasse. So are you joining the bill to stop this immediately or just talking about it?https://twitter.com/bensasse/status/1008709143509848065 …

        Talk is cheap-see Susan @SenatorCollins if you want to be really, really good at having it both ways, always. She's a pro at pretending.

        Unfortunately, NO he won't vote for the bill to stop it. He's waiting for the sick gop to stop it that includes paying for a stupid wall. @SenSasse will not do the right thing. Again.

        Don't get it twisted, they're all down with the policy of detention. They just hate the PR of what that actually looks like.

        There not even allowing Dianne Feinstein's bills to go up on the floor. So he will condemn it on Twitter but nothing else.

        Isn't he on his way out of Congress? What does he have to lose by joining the bill? Just for once, do the right thing because it's the right thing to do.

        They are all already too late. The #TrumpCamps exist. The children are in #cages. We may never redeem ourselves as a nation, and the administration and its collaborators are beyond redemption.

        That seems to be the problem. Everything is "Debatable". If someone insists that the sun rises in the West and want to debate about it.....you should just leave.

        Yep, he's another grandstander. Loves attention, loves to sound concerned. Does NOTHING. Let's see it, Mr. Sasse! Id love you to prove me wrong.

        He won't do anything. Even Republicans that say this situation is wrong, don't have the guts to stand up and do something? He won't sign on @SenFeinstein bill to end child separation.
