two months or something like that.
They just decided not to show up, basically.
And he did the same thing again.
So the MAGA Republicans, with the assistance of seven Democrats who we've called out, they push through a $1.2 trillion overall, it's called a minibus,
a big appropriations plan that has defense spending and FEMA money, and then they sneak in additional spending for ICE and Border Patrol.
And what they try to do with the minibus is kind of be like, well, we all need disaster relief because there's gonna be snowstorms.
So if you don't wanna fund
ICE and Border Patrol, we're gonna call you out because then that means you're not going to fund FEMA during the winter storm, and then we're gonna use that against you.
So they tried to tie these things together in order to pressure people to vote to give more money for state-sponsored terrorism by saying, well, if you don't support the state-sponsored terrorism, then I guess we're not gonna be able to fund emergency relief for the storms
That's how screwed up I guess we're not going to fund the troops and our troops are going to go starving.
So you got to fund the ice and border patrol.
No, do not fund ice and border patrol.
As Brett said at the beginning, it needs to be defunded, abolished and frequently prosecuted is what needs to be happening.
We can talk about funding terrorists.
What are we talking about here?
So the House pushed forward that.
then that moves to the Senate, right?
Remember how a bill becomes a law?
So now it's in the Senate.
And if the Senate makes any alterations to the House appropriations bill, it has to go back to the House.
