@Enilria6 @kpottermn They’re not going to fix it anytime soon. They’ll probably just keep paying them. And nobody is going to notice. So he’ll probably keep signing things if it does indeed run out
English
@kpottermn I think “emergency” usage precludes ongoing pay, but more emergency orders could be made as paychecks are missed
English
Unless I’m missing something, Trump’s Friday order doesn’t guarantee TSA agents pay going forward but only backpay for the last 6 weeks.
So while lines should improve this week, we could be right back in this mess in a few weeks.

@ufc @paramountplus Izzy needs to retire… he was going decently and then decided to brawl like a freaking idiot you were having success when you actually used your damn head

From colleague Tyler Olson. The House just passed the GOP leadership's 60-day DHS CR by a vote of 213-203.
3 Dem yeas were Reps. Davis (NC), Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) and Cuellar (TX). All Republicans voted yes
This is almost certain to be blocked in the Senate, leading the DHS shutdown to continue.
House is set to leave town for 2 weeks, just as the Senate did earlier this morning.
English
@jamiedupree Also a bunch of cowards on the republican side who said this was a bad idea voted party lines and couldn’t fail the previous question.. cowards
English
House passes GOP 60-day CR for the Department of Homeland Security. This bill is going nowhere in the Senate right now - that means the DHS shutdown will continue. A complete collapse of the Senate deal.
English
@CraigCaplan Going to die in the senate. So what’s exactly the point of this? Everyone knows it’s not going to get 60 in the senate. So it’s just a big fat waste of time
English
House NOW voting to approve the GOP 60-day CR funding DHS through May 22. If the rule is approved, the bill is deemed passed.
English
@jamiedupree Going to fail in the senate anyway. So it’s truly a waste of time
English
The Previous Question was approved. House now voting on final passage of the 60-day DHS CR.
Jamie Dupree@jamiedupree
House now voting on the Previous Question. My explainer from earlier
English
“Whipping” time in the House: House Republican & Democratic leaders as expected are now urging their members to vote party line on the previous question to move forward on the 60-day DHS bill rule & the rule itself which would “deem” the CR passed if approved. If all Dems & enough Rs vote to defeat the PQ, only then would the Senate-passed DHS bill would be called up.
English
If a discharge petition got 218 signatures right now, it would still need to lie over seven legislative days, and there are additional delays after that. The Senate would also need to repass the bill.
There are better options.

“We have a discharge petition that is live right now,” Jeffries says when asked how he plans to get a vote on the bipartisan DHS funding bill, referring to the Delauro discharge petition. Calls for Rs to sign it

Votes this evening?! I didn’t think they were actually going to do this… 🤯

Instance in which they went for option (3):

While some TSA agents will be paid by Monday, it may still take 7+ days for all paychecks to go out simply due to federal payment processor limitations.
All of which is to say: We’re not out of the woods yet.
Combined with spring break crowds, I’d expect gnarly lines for days.
David Shepardson@davidshepardson
Breaking: @DHSgov says 50,000 @TSA officers will be paid as early as Monday
English
The idea is that suspension of the rules should not be the main method of considering legislation. 40 minutes of debate and no amendments is a terrible process.
(It makes slightly less sense now that the usual process is one hour of debate and also no amendments! 😬)
Andrew Solender@AndrewSolender
“The House can’t vote under suspension on Fridays” sounda like one of those bizarre outdated laws like how you can’t have an ice cream cone in your back pocket in Alabama
