"RADICAL, CRAZY AGENDA"
Speaker Mike Johnson blasts Democrats in the DHS funding fight: “They want to reopen the borders and they want to stop the deportation of dangerous criminal illegal aliens… we have to fund these basic functions of government.”
English
Rep. Roy: "It is absolutely offensive to the people that we represent that the Senate would send over a bill that doesn't fund Border Patrol and the core components of ICE.
Could the Senate be any more lazy than to send to us a bill that doesn't do the job and then leave town? So we're going to stand up and say NO to that. We're going to send back a bill that's responsible to the American people."

@DataRepublican @LeaderJohnThune You called this one He did exactly that at 2am. Luckily Speaker Johnson is watching over us. That Senate bill is DOA, and Thune being Leader should be as well. A scumbag, swamp rat move if there ever was one. He should be primaried into the private sector.

When it comes to funding DHS, Democrats are moving the goalposts every day.
They are playing politics and using the American people as pawns. This needs to stop. We need to fund DHS.

Hey THUNE, get your ass on a plane back to DC, and order all senators back to DC to fund the government & pay the TSA, instead of taking a two-week break. Thank God for President Trump who is America’s only hero and is funding the TSA through an executive order! The Democrats & THUNE are to blame! 🔥😡

Let’s summarize where we are after a 40+ day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.
1) ICE and CBP are funded, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts and the foresight of President Trump and Republicans in Congress.
2) After holding DHS and the American people hostage for over 40 days, Dems got ZERO restrictions that would prevent ICE and CBP agents from doing their jobs safely.
3) Due to Dem obstruction of the appropriations process, ICE and CBP will get even more funding through budget reconciliation.
4) Dems have once again established themselves as the “Open Borders, Defund the Police” party heading into an election.
5) Dem leadership has proven once again they can’t be trusted to make a deal.
Which begs the question if you’re a Dem senator or one of their left-wing supporters: What was this really all about?

Where we are on TSA funding...The Senate unanimously decided to give in to Democrat demands to not fund ICE or CBP.
They passed a bill by voice vote (which is why you saw them leaving town last night before the actual vote early this morning). The Senate sent it to the House to fund all of DHS except ICE and the Border Patrol (CBP), the agencies responsible for enforcing our immigration laws and removing criminal illegal aliens from the country.
This surrender by Senate Republicans was passed in the middle of the night and then the entire Senate decided to go home for 2.5 weeks.
This leaves the House with 3 undesirable options:
(1) Pass the bill as is, cutting funding for U.S. immigration enforcement
(2) Amend the bill to include funding for ICE and CBP and send it back to the Senate. Unfortunately given the Senate’s decision to take a 2.5-week vacation, the DHS shutdown would continue
(3) Reject the bill, continuing the shutdown of DHS
Given the Rules of the House, passing this bill as-is also has procedural barriers to overcome
If there is bipartisan consensus behind a bill, typically the easiest way to pass the bill is under suspension of the rules. Under suspension of the rules, debate is limited to 40 minutes and it requires a 2/3 majority to pass.
Unfortunately, clause 1(a) of Rule XV of the House provides “the Speaker may not entertain a motion that the House suspend the rules except on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays”. Meaning we could not consider the bill under suspension of the rules until Monday.
The other way in which to pass bills in the House is by passing a rule providing for consideration of the bill and then moving on to consider the bill under that rule. But, clause 6(a) of Rule XIII provides “a report by the Committee on Rules on a rule, joint rule, or the order of business may not be called up for consideration on the same day it is presented to the House”. This is what’s known as the “same day” rule.
Under clause 6(a) of Rule XIII, there are limited exceptions in which a House may consider a rule the same day it is reported to the House by the Rules Committee. This includes when 2/3 of the House vote to do so. This is one way to pass the DHS appropriations bill (without ICE and CBP funding) today.
There are also various ways in which the House can waive its own rules, including through unanimous consent, through a resolution, or other mechanism. The House can also adjourn midday and start a new legislative day after the rule is reported, bypassing the same-day rule because it is technically a new legislative day.
There are still a lot of challenges ahead, but we are fully committed to getting ALL of DHS reopened for the American people.

🚨Thune sounds like he’s literally CHOKING ON HIS OWN WORDS trying to sell us this weak sauce. Trump’s pushing hard for the full SAVE America Act yet Senate RINOs are still on the record slow-walking and holding it up. You heard Trump! Now NUKE THE FILIBUSTER! NO MORE RHETORIC OR excuses🔥

So everyone at airports can blame TRUMP and SPEAKER JOHNSON!

It's the Republican voters that slept through reality. Remember when felon Trump asked for border security and the Dems approved a bill for it, then felon Trump told GQP to reject it? Happened again. The felon asks for DHS funding, the Senate passes and the GQP House rejects.

President Clinton was simply giving an example of the many people he traveled with to see the Clinton Foundation’s work. Governor Pritzker joined a Clinton Foundation trip in 2008.
Not on Epstein’s plane. Not with Epstein. Not with Maxwell.

Bill Clinton says he brought JB Pritzker on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s plane: “I think that I had my first trip for the man who’s now the Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker and his wife.”

I'm sure many people flew on his plane that didn't know what was going on. If they still associated with him after 2008 then I'd consider that to be a problem. I haven't watched this video because I'm at work. JB Pritzker is my governor and I wouldn't be upset if another Illinois governor was convicted.

ICE has brutalized and killed Minnesotans, terrorized communities, trampled constitutional rights, and destroyed small businesses.
And what have Republicans said? Crickets.
So spare us the faux outrage on your political stunt of the day. #mnleg
