You know, I'm not in the position of giving advice to Chuck Schumer for many reasons.

I will say I think it's very striking how quickly Senate Democrats came out against this after the shooting.

I mean, I just don't think.

I don't think the will to do this was there at the beginning of the month.

I really think something has shifted for them.

Some of it is timing.

It's just the fact that they're staring at a deadline on Friday.

But I think you see it in statements from people like Patty Murray, who's the top Democrat on appropriations, who came out when, you know, Republicans and Democrats struck this deal for a spending bill and said, this is the best we can do right now.

And we have to do something because we need to curb ICE.

And if we don't pass this bill, then,

And they'll just do whatever they want.

And I think that was the party line heading into last week.

Heading into this week, it seems to be like this bill's not enough.

We really need to do something.

We really need to put our foot down.

I don't know what that looks like exactly.

Republicans seem to be very reluctant to split the Homeland Security bill away from the rest of these other bills that they have to pass.

Anything could happen in the next few days.

It's very funny.

I don't think anyone...
