finally, some good fuckin’ news.
So, what Democrats proposed before the 40 day shutdown.
is this Kennedy who looks like a Quaker Oats grandma’s UR?
The strangest part of this rare overnight session is that the vote was actually unanimous despite all the public posturing about border security being a non-negotiable priority. They clearly agreed on the funding gaps behind closed doors while pretending to be at an impasse for the cameras.
Wow Delta cancelling their special line actually worked!
FINALLY! I bet the House won’t pass it, or trump won’t sign it, though.
Thank God! About time ICE/CBP was robbed of its piggy bank. Happy to see the rest of DHS back open, while the iffy bit is shut down.
Now, for it to pass the House. Fuuuun…
TSA has been unfairly penalized by this shutdown. Banks don’t help them when their bills are due.
I wonder what else is buried in this bill. Republicans must have voted for it for some reason. I not really seeing them being altruistic at this point in time
Fuck ICE. They are anti-American terrorists.
The REPUBLICANS folded for once????? There might be hope for this country after all. Happy Friday everyone!
I don’t believe it.
They are gonna funnel the money to ICE one way or a other.
So, I thought ICE was already funded for the next 3 years. Is this just not providing *extra* funding? Or are they actually withholding funding?
A reminder that until this bill passes, the Coast Guard is still unpaid!
I understand each side is spinning here, but to me this feels like a democrat loss or at very least a sort of tie. They held out this long to try to get some Policy changes at ICE and ended up caving and reopening TSA without that? They lose their biggest negotiating chip…
Everyone says this is what they asked for weeks ago…. That’s not entirely true. They asked for this PLUS policy changes.
Am I missing something? Since the BBB already funds ICE is there some roles that are not funded if ICE doesn’t get a budget? I just picture some guy in the basement who is not being paid because he was excluded from BBB but is generally covered under the ICE normal allocations…
Who is going to stand around airports to replace the ICE pukes that call out sick?
Senate Dems are pocket vaginas. Zero ICE reforms in this package. Ho-ly smokes…. At least let us have sex with you Chuck Schumer, cause this is just a complete waste
All the politicians about to leave for their two week recess and don’t want to be stuck in the lines themselves
