This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom Podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all?

Funding for the federal government runs out on Friday, and the killing in Minneapolis has shaken up what looked to be a glide path to likely avoiding a shutdown into what is now a wall that the Senate is going to crash into. We can put up this first element from Chuck Schumer. So Chuck Schumer has met with his Senate colleagues And in the wake of the killing of Alex Pretty, rank and file Democrats have been livid and saying that they're drawing a red line here, that they have no intention of supporting government funding if it includes money for the DHS. And so, Sagar, what's going on here? So. Last week, the House passed a bunch of different spending packages and then left. So credit to Speaker Mike Johnson, we could say.
I think this is one of the first times that the House has actually passed It's a normal appropriations bills where you're supposed to do it in like decades, practically like the Congress has been completely broken. They put it together and Democrats did this too clever by half move. This is before the killing. I think it was a Thursday night that it passed through the House. What they did is they they gave Democrats. Democratic support for these Republican measures that were not related to DHS and it allowed them allowed Republicans and then separate out the DHS spending package. Democrats then all except for like six of them or so voted against that. But leadership knew that the strategy that the two parties were taking was going to move federal money for all agencies through.
But it allowed Democrats not to have their fingerprints on the ICE money.
