House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday it will be a few days before a government funding package comes up for a vote, all but ensuring the partial federal shutdown will drag into the week as Democrats and Republicans debate reining in the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration enforcement operations.
Johnson signaled he is relying on help from Donald Trump to ensure passage. Trump struck a deal with senators to separate funding for the Department of Homeland Security from a broader package after public outrage over two shooting deaths during protests in Minneapolis against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The measure approved Friday by the Senate would fund DHS temporarily, for two weeks, setting up a deadline for Congress to debate and vote on new restrictions on ICE operations.
Time for Dems to shut down the government and call a general strike. Unify the people. Kind of like what Biden did with the railway strike in 2022, but the opposite.
The Democrats are in the same pockets as the Republicans are. That’s the reason the last shutdown got shit canned. Don’t expect anything extraordinary from the Democrats that are in our house and Senate right now they haven’t got any backbone whatsoever.
You want to change? Get out to the polls during the primaries and use your middle finger to punch their ticket out of office.
