The Senate struck a deal to fund a large portion of the government on Thursday evening, just a day before a shutdown deadline.
The agreement will split the bill funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) off from a “minibus” package of five other major funding bills. The Senate will instead move a stopgap bill known as a continuing resolution (CR) that would fund DHS at current levels until Feb. 13.
The two sides had haggled over the length of the CR, with Democrats insisting on the two-week version that won out.

Trial balloon by a faction.
The repubs caved. Same crap, different day.
Democrats will not agree to a deal with Election Reform unless it is a paper tiger.
DHS is funded through the end of 2029. Is it a hill to die on now?
They can bring it back up while the Rs have House, Senate and WH.
So many times it feels like a waste of time voting for Republicans. They are a spineless, gutless bunch.
Uniparty fixers.
“DHS is funded through the end of 2029. Is it a hill to die on now?

That’s the point of this debate. The funding slated for DHS is going to be cut by the Senate refusal to approve it. There are a number of Republicans joining Democrats to reduce the reach and tactics of ICE agents. At least some of those controls will pass the Senate.
So the voter ID thing is not in this bill?
And the republicans have their bill to defund and dismantle Dept of non-education ,EPA, IRS. oh no they forgot that part of the bill.
I doubt the pubbies go beyond cameras for agents;
Careful now....the uniparty will be along shortly to remind you that you have to crawl over broken glass to vote (R)etard even if the (R)etard candidate is no different in policy or stance.... or you’re a communist or something,.
Another CR on the table, imagine that. The Great Compromisers strike again. Go ahead unipartiers as the last shutdown went unnoticed. Congress will join.
The DHS Bill we have to go through negotiating process. ThevHOP doesn’t have to agree to it.?
And to end the filibuster. I won’t hold my breath waiting for the criminal Dems to be tossed into J6 style gulags.
Deal Reached Between Trump and Democrats to Avert a Total Government Shutdown.... Trump made a deal....Wonder who or plans got tossed under the bus?
“Deal Reached Between Trump and Democrats to Avert a Total Government Shutdown”
Do you have a link for that?
That’s not what this article says.
Right an all d congress would be no different than what we have now /s /s /s
NOEM is done for. Trump is getting ready to go left after the November elections when the Republicans get destroyed. He doesn’t have the fire required to deport them all, 20 million come in and 300k “bad ones “ go out. I’m thinking Miller is also gone after November. My prediction is a “border security” amnesty bill gets passed next year. I’m also not totally ruling out Medicare for all. Trump can sell any crap and if the Democrats are smart enough to work with him for 2 years now that he can’t be reelected I bet they’d be pretty happy
Can you explain this? The funding in the OBBB needed additional approval? What then was the point. Sheesh, worst run company in the whole country. Please explain though if you understand it.

I think the pubbies will be forced to concede the face mask issue as well. It’s one thing to authorize masks for our military personnel who are or may be in foreign countries, but the US has never authorized any form of secret police.
Militarized police are a threat to all of our civil liberties, not just the ones you don’t personally care about.
