But the problem is, MAGA Mike is on vacation and he sent the House home

So they can't make any adjustments if the Senate excises or removes the ICE and Border Patrol portion from the minibus, as it's called, the appropriations package.

Now the Democrats have put out a statement in the Senate, and I hope they stick with this and they don't fold, but they've made it clear that there are certain non-negotiables that they're saying they need to see happen

in order for there to be any additional funding.

And there needs to be accountability from Kristi Noem and Bovino.

Troops need to get out of Minnesota.

There needs to be an independent investigation and the state officials have to come back in.

and no more funding for ice and border patrol right now given everything it shouldn't have taken this to get there um but here we are so now you have statements like this from susan collins she's concerned everybody she's concerned y'all so republican susan collins says the following um collins says a shutdown would be harmful unnecessary and disastrous

Colin says she shares the concern about Alex Preddy's killing over the weekend, but she notes that the DHS funding bill also includes money for FEMA, TSA, et cetera.

Yeah, we know that's part of the extortion racket here by combining these things and making them a package deal.

No, what you should do is just...

very easy remove the portion that includes funding for ice and border patrol right all you have to do i'll make it very easy brett geordie and midas might here's how you would do it you put a line through it okay and you say nope we're not doing that then it goes to the house but wait a minute the house isn't there but if they were working and we wanted to keep the government open they would show up

Although Maga Mike doesn't want to.

Maga Mike would do his job.

He would pass the identical language and then the government would be funded.

Like this is not...

Don't let corporate news and others try to overcomplicate the situation.

Maga Mike sent the House into recess to contrive a controversy while he's gone radio silent about the murder of Preti.

That's what happened.

And now the Senate Republicans want to try to call the Democrats bluff that you're going to screw over our troops if you don't fund terrorism with ICE and Border Patrol, Gestapo.
