Once ICE funding runs out and harm on the ground stops, the dems will have won. This is step 1. They can’t make it there without the first step, but if they don’t actually make it to affecting real people, this is just Lucy telling Charlie Brown to kick the football for the 4258tg time.
So, 4 year government shutdown?
Not really, because they didn’t pass funding for immigration but that already got a huge ocean of money in the last big budget bill so they have plenty of money but didn’t get any new restrictions.
It was a way of caving and not looking like they are caving. It’s honestly a win in the eyes of a majority of people that only half pay attention.
I’m notpaying attention at all, and don’t even know what you guys are talking about.
I’m here for it
No. ICE was already plenty funded from last summer’s bill, which is why they’re still on the streets and in the airports. The Democrats were (supposedly) fighting for restrictions on ICE: no masks, warrants required, limits on use of force, etc. Once again, they got absolutely none of the things that they were supposedly fighting for.
The Republicans, however, get to claim they’ve “ended” the shutdown, and have also gotten pretty much everything they wanted.
Restrictions only work if they’re enforced, too, so giving resources in exchange for rules, without any changes to enforcement, is a losing strategy.
Losing strategy is the dems favorite thing to do though 😭
Whatever they may have gotten passed in the Senate, calling it a win before it’s made it through the House is premature.
House Republicans rejected it, hence why the article.
Lmao these fucking headlines are such a joke.

Woah, I wouldn’t go that far. There’s still plenty of time for them to capitulate still.
I’m curious about how the writers are going to resolve that “TSA paycheck” plotline. The Senate going out for recess is a decent cliffhanger, but it feels like the writers are going to develop another arc. Maybe they’ll give us another Iran episode while the TSA arc is on hold?
