Great work, Maga Mike Johnson. It seems that the government is going to have yet another shutdown because Maga Mike sent the House of Representatives home for a vacation.
Why is MAGA Mike Johnson forcing another government shutdown?
And even though the Senate appears poised to enter into a horrible compromise to keep the government opened in order to pass this appropriations bill which i'll talk about in a second because there are some alterations to the house appropriations bill the senate bill has to get sent back to the house where they have to pass an identical copy of the senate bill but guess what maga mike's been too busy partying with nikki minaj and doing other things that have nothing to do with the american people that the House of Representatives is no longer in Washington, D.C. They are on vacation yet again. So let's talk about what's going down. Now, Maga Mike says, by the way, he's going to call the House back and they're going to try to make it by Sunday.
But lots of people are saying we can't make it back by Sunday. So I think the earliest a vote is going to take place on this conversation. compromise, which I'll talk about in a moment, because I do not like this compromise, would be putting it lightly. In fact, I despise it. But in any event, people won't get back Sunday or Monday, and the shutdown will take place Saturday at 12 a.m. So here's what we believe is happening right now, that Senate GOP leaders have hotlined, as Andrew Desiderio says, have hotlined a new funding agreement Five funding bills paired with a two-week CR continuing resolution for the Department of Homeland Security amendment requests are now rolling in.
What is the Senate's proposed compromise for government funding?
So what does that mean? What MAGA Mike tried to do is do this minibus that put all of these different department fundings together in one, including the Department of Homeland Security, which has additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo. What the Senate said, because the Democrats were opposing and rejecting additional funding to ICE and Border Patrol is, let's remove the Department of Homeland Security funding in total, since the Democrats oppose them. Let's pass the five appropriations bills that don't involve Department of Homeland Security, so those five get passed. Excise those, pass those. Then separately, do what's called a continuing resolution regarding the Department of Homeland Security just for a two-week period.
So the rest gets passed and is funded for the appropriate period of time. The DHS, which funds Border Patrol and ICE, that just gets funded for two more weeks, while then the Democrats say, we're gonna, in the Senate, Schumer and all the other people say, Then we're going to negotiate for the things that we want to do with respect to ICE and Border Patrol, that you have to get rid of the masks of the Border Patrol agents and they have to wear body cams and better training. In my view, you can't compromise with authoritarians. ICE and Border Patrol need to be abolished. The individuals who have been terrorizing and torturing communities need to be prosecuted at the level of Trump appointees and officials.
They need to be impeached and prosecuted. So I don't want to see any compromising at all. But now that a compromise is going to happen, and it's going to be a two-week extension of DHS, which means Border Patrol and ICE get funded for another two weeks, I think they shouldn't be funded for another freaking day, if you ask me, but... Now it goes to the House, but the House is nowhere to be found. And now you have MAGA Republicans in the House like Ana Paulina Luna and others saying every single appropriations bill that is voted out of the House and sent back to the Senate must have what they're calling the SAVE Act attached to it, which basically is the plan to federalize the elections in the midterms in order to manipulate it, is what the MAGA Republicans wanna do.
As Jake Sherman says, this is gonna be a problem with DHS coming back to the House, which is why the GOP leadership is so concerned. There are going to be many asks now because what's expected, although I'm sure Donald Trump will call up Ana Paulina Luna and other people,
