House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday it will be a few days before a government funding package comes up for a vote, all but ensuring the partial federal shutdown will drag into the week as Democrats and Republicans debate reining in the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration enforcement operations.
Johnson signaled he is relying on help from Donald Trump to ensure passage. Trump struck a deal with senators to separate funding for the Department of Homeland Security from a broader package after public outrage over two shooting deaths during protests in Minneapolis against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The measure approved Friday by the Senate would fund DHS temporarily, for two weeks, setting up a deadline for Congress to debate and vote on new restrictions on ICE operations.
That’s exactly why the planned opposition party will continue to keep the machine running. At this point, I think anyone that has faith in the Democratic party is literally more delusional than the people that voted for Trump three times.
We are literally watching the equivalent of the liberal parties in Germany voting for the Enabling Act. And, honestly, they already did that when they funded ICE like they did.
Thank you. This is exactly how I feel about the democratic party. I can’t believe people don’t see the parallels between the opposition parties in the 1930’s to 1940’s to our modern day DNC.
It’s certainly made me realize how many people fail at basic pattern recognition.
A lot of people don’t read Parenti’s Blackshirts and Reds. Sounds like something you’d enjoy. Though, given your comment you might have already.
I haven’t, thank you for the recommendation. Looked it up and looks like a good read.
