Seven Democrats voted with Republicans on Thursday to pass a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spending bill, despite opposition from their own leadership over unmet demands for additional guardrails on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.
The DHS bill will be bundled alongside three other spending bills, totaling a combined $1.2 trillion in federal spending. The entire package’s passing is a significant step toward averting a government shutdown come Jan. 30.
Lawmakers in the House of Representatives voted on two separate packages on Thursday afternoon. One groups together three spending bills to fund the departments of War, Education, Labor, Transportation and Health and Human Services. The second is a standalone bill funding DHS, which includes ICE.
The DHS bill passed by a 220-207 vote with the help of seven Democrats. Only one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted in opposition. The larger package passed with much broader bipartisan support in a 341-88 vote, with 149 Democrats joining Republicans to pass it.
Most Democrats bucked the DHS funding legislation after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and other top Democrats said they were opposed to the bill due to insufficient restrictions against President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
With the legislation in the rearview mirror, the House advanced the last pieces of the puzzle needed to avoid a government shutdown by the end of the month. It’s also the first time in nearly 30 years that Congress has avoided funding the government through one massive spending bill known as an "omnibus" or through short-term incremental funding extensions called "continuing resolutions" (CRs).

One Republican, Thomas Massie, voted against it.
Girly man Massie.
“””One Republican, Thomas Massie, voted against it.”””
One DEMOCRAT, Thomas Massie, voted against it.
Massie and/or his donors are on the pedo list OR no one of significance is on it and he just wants to grift off victims and try to attack Trump.
He promised to release his list he compiled directly from victim statements, but now he refuses to release it! Why?
Yeah I remember when Massie claimed he has the names of the pedos on the Epstein list but NEVER released any such list
Didn’t he do some kind of youtube thing with his fellow democrat Ro Khanna saying they were going to reveal everything? He’s nuts, Jim.
Where is the “Bipartisan” label?
Yep and I remember him actually saying that he has the names of bankers and other high profile people that he knows is on that list and nothing ever came of it
Agreed! lol
Individual spending bills. What a concept!
No omnibus, no continuing resolutions.
Now.............What will the Senate do?
They probably do not teach this anymore, but the Senate can craft their own versions of what the House of Representatives passes. Then, there is a conference of both the Senate and the House. Then, they vote on what the conference agrees to do. The Senate can also just vote on what the House sent up without any changes.
It will be interesting to see what Chuck You Schumer says and does. With Ocrazio-Cortex nipping at his heels, who knows.
Only 1 Republican voted against funding ICE
Massie.
Give Kentucky to Denmark in exchange for Greenland.
“ Why did Massie do this?”
********************************
ATTENTION SEEKING!
Me! … Me! … Me!…l. LOOK AT ME!!🤦🏼🤦🏼
Does it means, we will not have gov. shutdown?
Are we going to finally get real budget?
That would be something!
KENTUCKY voted for this.
Seems like those hillbillies are going to vote for "it" again.
But not really unexpected, they kept voting for China Mitch and Randy Rand Paul.
Because libertarians don’t believe in borders.
I thought we were closing the Department of Education
Because he’s a friggen democrat.
“He’s nuts, Jim.”He’s nuts, Jim.
True. He’s got a sociopathic hate for Trump…..TDS on steroids.
He’s no different than James Comey, Newscum, Tampon…..the list is long.
