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?

Because Senate Democrats didn’t end up accepting the Republican offer on DHS funding & negotiations fell apart yesterday, Dems will get *zero* of the ICE reforms they had been demanding, including ones that GOP had already agreed to, like showing ID, increased Congressional oversight, agreements to not hit sensitive locations, etc. These reforms were the reason Dems started the shutdown in the first place, and now instead of getting a few concessions on their demand list, they get none. The only thing they secured was no funding for CBP & ICE, which are largely already funded via the OBBB, and Republicans will seek to fund them even further without Dem votes in reconciliation instead. As for the Dem’s demand list on ICE reforms? “That ship has sailed,” Sen. Majority Leader John Thune said this morning. “They kissed that opportunity goodbye by failing to provide funding for those agencies.”

Yes, although Democrats didn’t actually achieve anything. They caused a 40+ day shutdown & ended up getting zero policy changes to the agency they’re demonizing, which has been funded the whole time. And Rs say they’ll fund that agency further through reconciliation anyway. I guess the win was causing the harm and pain without really getting punished for it & showing unity in resistance.

No member of Congress should go home or get paid until DHS is funded and the government is open. Taking a break while American workers are unpaid is a totally entitled, inexcusable low.

@jackunheard It isnt unbelievable, it is very believable.

🚨UNBELIEVABLE!!! Senate Democrats just VOTED 54-46 to BLOCK DHS funding, leaving TSA workers unpaid AGAIN. On a positive note, President Trump is using a workaround to make sure they receive pay.

Will Smith can have me whenever he wants. #LADodgers #dodgers

@TwillysTakes @zacobson For someone who hates baseball you do tweet a lot about it. And dont give me that whining over money. The Padres got far too cocky. Thats on you.

@zacobson No just not gonna watch that fraudulent sport

Its hard to get excited and care about baseball when we all know the stupid ass spoiled bitch ass dumb ass dodgers are just gonna win it again Not gonna care about that sport til a salary cap is implemented

“Nuh uh, I want you to keep bombing us!” Even our wars are too online now.

After everything that has transpired in the last 40+ days, it should be abundantly clear to anyone who's been watching that Democrats simply do not want a DHS funding deal. They've run out of field in terms of their ability to move the goal posts.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING — TRUMP SAYS HES INSTRUCTING DHS TO PAY TSA

@ShoeQueen0318 @ThatsAllAreanna Hotels dont work like that. A flat out lie. I am a travel expert.

@ThatsAllAreanna this makes zero sense. You have a reservation but you haven't paid. They would have told you upfront if they can work with you or not. Keep scamming.

Trump: You see this pen right here? This pen is very inexpensive. But it writes well. I like it. Sharpie. I came here. They had $1,000 pens. You hand out pens. You hand them to people. 30, 40 people. They were $1,000 a piece. Beautiful pen, ball point. I hand out to kids that don't know. It's kid getting a pen for $1,000. They have no idea what it is. I had another problem. They didn’t write well. I sign—no ink. I have all you people looking and say there must be something wrong with Trump. There is no ink in the pen. It cost $1,000.

Remember when like 12 hours ago Iran was denying even considering being in talks or reviewing proposals, and a bunch of people on here took that as evidence that Rubio and Trump were lying?

NEW: A 4x previously deported Honduran illegal alien has been charged with murder after he allegedly shoved an 83-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran onto subway tracks in NYC's upper east side. He died from his injuries. The alien has a lengthy rap sheet. nypost.com/2026/03/26/us-…

always great when the White House official account starts posting creepy snatches of video like they're outtakes from THE RING.

@DanClarkSports Of course it did just like their NFL coverage.

Evidently, #Netflix baseball sucks.

@9Sling @Cjpearson @DaunenJ That mis steps the question. A quick look at your twitter sees praise for Mayor Pete. The same Mayor Pete you say wasn't qualified to be a cabinet secretary.

@NeilFitzUk @Cjpearson @DaunenJ I didn’t vote for Biden. Didn’t have faith in his ability to lead either. Too damn old like Trump.

Jimmy Kimmel: "Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now." The elitism of Hollywood summarized in one moment. 👇

@9Sling @Cjpearson @DaunenJ Did you at the time?

@NeilFitzUk @Cjpearson @DaunenJ I would object to all of those. Pete had no business in that position IMO.
