New York Times: “Senate Republicans defeated an effort by Democrats to bar President Trump from establishing a fund that could compensate his political allies, as they kicked off a slog of votes on their immigration crackdown bill that stretched into early Friday.”“The vote came as the G.O.P. worked to push through their $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement for the remainder of Mr. Trump’s term, a top party priority they were eager to spotlight in the middle of an election year as their control of Congress is at stake.”
