NEWS ON THE BALLROOM -- The $1B for USSS is one of the most important things Republicans are dealing with right now.
It is the single provision that is standing in the way of ICE/CBP funding. Trump wants this on his desk by June 1. But that's all been complicated by the $1B for security, including Trump's ballroom.
Forget the House floor right now. it's irrelevant. all the action will begin when the Senate moves the reconciliation bill.
As @LauraEWeiss16 scooped last night, Senate is not only changing the $1B language, but they are also considering lowering the number from $1B.
Senate is engaged in a lot of Trump management right now. They know Trump wants the money but they also know that, in its current form, they cant pass it. The parliamentarian is a side show, for the most part. Because if the language ends up on the floor, it could easily come out during vote-a-rama.
And here's the real kicker: The House is even trickier. Absences and opposition will kill this provision in the House. Johnson has been warned by rank and file. This won't fly.

@coachmosser New Mexico very lucky the game in Logan was first. If Utah State went to the Pit first and this game was in Logan, Aggies 100% win this game. Credit the Aggies for coming in today much more prepared and ready. Jerrod Calhoun one heck of a coach!

Imagine being a social studies teacher and getting an angry call from a Conservative parent who doesn’t even understand their own ideology, and then having to explain it to them
I was proud to work with President Trump defending America at the United Nations. I wish him, and all who serve, great success in moving us forward to a stronger, safer America over the next four years.
