The White House and Senate Democratic leaders continued to trade offers and kept the details of negotiations private, signaling some hope — but no guarantee of an agreement.
Department of Homeland Security is poised to shut down this weekend as Congress remained deadlocked Thursday on a path forward before leaving town for a weeklong holiday break.
The White House and Democratic leaders have continued to trade offers, signaling some hope for an agreement. But it remains unclear which Democratic demands the White House will agree to when it comes to slapping restraints on immigration enforcement after federal agents killed two American citizens in Minnesota.
With Congress out of town, DHS will shut down beginning at 12:01 a.m. Saturday. That means that federal employees at agencies such as FEMA, the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard won’t be paid, though most of them will continue showing up for work because their jobs are considered critical.
Good. Fuck’em.
Good start, now keep is shut down. Forever.
When your federal government shutting down is a big win.
Knock em out john
Defund?
No no no.
Abolish?
That’s a start.
Prosecute.
That’s my baseline. Anyone asking for less doesn’t have my vote.
I could totally see the admin pulling off a “terrorist” attack to shift things back in their favor.
There will definitely be a new war to pump up ratings.
Keep it shutdown for forever. What has Homeland Security done besides wasting money on security theatre, failing to stop any actual killers, and kill people who are here?
Fuck the DHS. Not a single member of it is free of guilt.
It sucks that FEMA and CISA are getting starved out while ICE is flush, but hell, maybe no part of the gov should be funded while the pestilence of this ‘administration’ is perverting nearly every ideal we thought we had
The Coast Guard is the hardest pill to swallow. The TSA mainly harass and profile people and FEMA pretty much only responds to issues in red states these days so good riddance to them.
Just impeach Trump and all the treasonous Republicans
Unless they are removed from office it’ll be theatrical.
Just fucking keep it closed
Shut it down forever
America did pretty alright for the 225 years we didn’t have a DHS…
First, migrate the shit out of it that should’ve never been in it.
I don’t know why the department in change of natural disaster aid is in the same org as TSA and ICE. That’s so damn silly.
