So now this is their only chance to pass something without Democratic votes in the year.

And so they're going to jam all the money for the ICE and CBP in there and then a bunch of other goodies for other stuff that Republicans want.

Okay.

So...

You can only lose three Republicans, like assuming every Democrat votes against it.

All right.

You can only lose three Republicans on this stuff.

And there are three Republicans in particular that are in the Senate that are up in very contested elections.

Susan Collins in Maine.

We'll get to that next.

John Husted in Ohio and Dan Sullivan in Alaska running against Mary Paltola.

And so the three of them don't really want the baggage of having to vote for Donald Trump's slush fund.

because they don't want the ads about how you're getting poor.

And Dan Sullivan gave $1.8 billion of your money to Donald Trump's pals, right?

And so Bill Cassidy and Tom Tillis, who have said that they are the brave ones now, that they're the ones that are going to speak truth to power on the way out, they put amendments up to stop the slush fund.

And so did Chuck Schumer on the Democratic side.

And Cassidy and Tillis...

Do the D.C.

bullshit.

They vote for their amendment.
