Nevertheless, this final funding package we have
under consideration today is a win for Minnesotans and Americans. Democrats stood strong and united. That is why this bill does not
include any funding for President Trump's wasteful border wall, which
he wanted to pay for with cuts to our priorities here at home. As the ranking member of the Interior, Environment, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee, I am proud that we removed more
than 75 poison pill riders from our part of the bill. These destructive
policies would have delisted endangered species, rolled back
environmental protections, and chipped away at our public lands.
