Senate Democrats announced earlier Thursday they had struck an agreement with the White House to move forward with a plan that would see the Department of Homeland Security funding bill separated from a package of five other bills. Programs funded by the five-bill package would be funded until the end of September. DHS would be funded for two additional weeks to allow lawmakers to negotiate on other provisions in the package.
The Senate must get unanimous agreement to move forward with this plan if it wants to hold votes before Friday night’s deadline. As it stood Thursday night, there seemed to be objections by senators on both sides of the aisle gumming up the works.
“Tomorrow’s another day, and hopefully people will be in a spirit to try and get this done tomorrow,” Majority Leader John Thune said as he was leaving the Capitol late Thursday.
Did we just forget about healthcare subsidies??
Geez. I’m fucking tired of these do-nothing Democrats. Gonna charge into another shutdown only to fumble the bag AGAIN and come away with nothing.
Of course, the alternative is literal Nazis, which really tells you how cooked our system of government is now.
It’s so frustrating listening to the liberals. No fucking spines. No courage of conviction. A complete inability to stand up and say “No!”. And if anyone tries to push the party to the left, they are a commie. I have yet to hear anyone tell me why socialism cannot ever work. Instead, it’s a red scare. The ignorance is on full display.
Americans are SO LIVID at ICE Kidnapping Children and Murdering People in the Streets that they’re holding TWO General Strikes in ONE Month which has NEVER been done in HISTORY! Which means the BEST Most WINNINGEST thing we can do right Now is CONTINUE Funding ICE!
-Chuck Schumer who NEVER has a Primary Challenger!
Bernie hold your ground. Yes ideally it should be all the Democrats but as I understand it only Bernie is the honest one in the chamber
Schumer is functionally part of the regime and should go to jail with the rest of these killers and thieves.
Stop. Negotiating. With. Terrorists.
That would damage their ability to inside trade, so they’re gonna negotiate with terrorists
No. They will just illegally shift the funding around.
Thumbnail is a rare picture of Schumer looking through his glasses and not over them.
Looks like he finally finished his strongly-worded letter.
