Deal to Restart TSA Funding Heads to House After Clearing Senate

[lostincalifornia]

The US Senate passed legislation early Friday to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, forging a path to end a lengthy partial government shutdown that snarled airport security and threatened to ripple through an economy already roiled by the Iran war.

The bill, which must still pass the House and be signed by President Donald Trump, marks an abrupt reversal for Republicans, who had blocked similar proposals backed by Democrats to partially fund the department for weeks. The legislation passed the Senate by voice vote.

House leaders were still discussing how to move the funding through their chamber, which would require a “unanimous consent” voice vote if it were to be done Friday.

Democrats had previously offered to fund most of DHS with the exception of the Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying they wanted to pair funding those agencies with more restrictions on immigration enforcement.

In other words the entire TSA chaos is because of the republicans in Congress, and the sociopath in the WH. What isn't being said is that the Democrats had offered this 10 times previously, and the republicans in Congress voted it down.

2. Why wouldn't House Magats pass this?

Then later pass ICE funding through reconciliation.

3. That would be the logical thing to do. However Johnson is just a lapdog for Trump

So if Trump decides to throw a temper tantrum, Johnson will fuck it up.

5. I think because the sociopath in the WH want to tie it to his voter supression "save act".
