Good.

No.

And you tell me.

But my sense of the Republican Party is that and Senate Republicans are

is that they're not going to agree to pass the other spending bills unless they also get DHS, which means you would get a full government shutdown.

That's right.

And if anybody thinks that, oh, well, maybe this is just routine and it's a coincidence.

Nope.

You're not sending a letter like this out on a Saturday.

And it begins by, you know, they sort of try to suggest that there's some routine nature to it.

The letter begins on January 15th.

you know, committee staff invited you to testify.

But then he says, today, I am formally memorializing the previous invitation.

And to drop that on a Saturday right after the killing is sending a very clear message.

And it's, yes.

So to your point, what this, and he gives them a bunch of different dates.

the latest one being March 18th.

So he's kind of allowing them to at least push it out a significant amount of time.
