Doesn’t matter it’s Lemmy; nothing a minority party could do is enough.
No.
Next question.
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.
In the last reconciliation bill they gave ice an extra 70 billion for whatever so they have 2-3 years of funding without getting any new money.
That’s disgusting.
It’s amazing to me that the Republicans haven’t messaged this as a win. They could easily say they out played the Democrats getting them to agree to fund DHS except the part that is already funded. I do think it’s going to be harder for the Republicans to pull these shenanigans after the mid terms.
It’s because everyone fucking hates ICE, the problem Republicans have is that their wins are tainted since they only appeal to their base if even that. Everyone else who isn’t batshit even more conservative folks see how much of a mess they are and shy away from it. I suspect this is why they are starting to show only MAGA polling now because if they polled any wider grouping that wasn’t self identified they’d show far far worse numbers.
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 😭
It was a winning strategy, but Starmer kicked an own goal as usual. That wasn’t accidental.
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.
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?
Lmao these fucking headlines are such a joke.
its funny how these things go out as like one thing in a process goes out and is not complete.
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?
