Senate unanimously moves to fund most of DHS except for ICE and parts of CBP.

[Byrthnoth]

So they didn't get the reforms they asked for, but also didn't completely close the issue?

So this includes the SAVE act?

[Krandor]

I guess the threat of losing their two week vacation was too much for the Senate to handle.

Trump basically blinked first by saying he would fund TSA through XO (i.e. using ICE money)

Or it was the TMZ effect

[Tyrath]

What is the TMZ effect?

[Mertron]

no

from what im reading what the democrats didn’t get in this bill was a war powers resolution that Trump will just veto anyway

also the house could try to tack on SAVE and send it back to the senate, where it will die again so probably won’t happen

TMZ asked for photo submissions of congresspeople celebrating spring break while TSA agents trying to eat and people's kids are dying overseas.

[Mertron]

no

also im not convinced trump won’t just veto this anyway even though he called for it

[Tymon]

He said he would veto any bill that comes to him until the SAVE act passes so by his own statement he should

Means nothing though

They put out a bounty for footage of congress people leaving for or already on vacation

[Krandor]

Apparently the House is expected to reject the DHS bill, so nvm

[Tymon]

Good. I hope it completely collapses and people start starving. Crash some planes, let's see some carnage.

[Tyrath]

Ok Sirious

Personally I'm a Pumbaa fan

Fox is starting to pivot on Mike Johnson and Pete Hegseth. I dont see them making it past the end of spring.

[Tymon]

Johnson might go down if Trump thinks kicking him out will make him look better, but there's no way Hegseth goes anywhere.
