Republicans in Congress voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security Thursday, effectively ending the 76-day shutdown of the department.
The bill, passed by a voice vote in the House, is a win for Democrats, as it still includes no money for ICE or Border Patrol, and is now headed to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law. House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly decided to finally support the bill after a private meeting with his fellow Republican leaders earlier in the day, where they agreed that the situation couldn’t continue.
The GOP will still try to fund ICE through the reconciliation process, which takes much longer but only requires a simple majority in both chambers of Congress.
Democrats will hopefully learn from this that they should hold their ground in the future instead of rolling belly up at the first sight of inconvenience
I think some will, but Schumer definitely won’t
Hopefully voters take note and kick his ass to the curb.
sadly senators are pretty much entrenched since they have 6year terms.
Hakeem, slotkin and fettermen joins him. and 13 other dem senators.
DHS not being funded is the least of dems worried, when they already did too much damage from ending the atc shutdown.
They shouldn’t have upped DHS money.
