Not really, because they didn't pass funding for immigration but that already got a huge ocean of money in the last big budget bill so they have plenty of money but didn't get any new restrictions.

No. ICE was already plenty funded from last summer's bill, which is why they're still on the streets and in the airports. The Democrats were (supposedly) fighting for restrictions on ICE: no masks, warrants required, limits on use of force, etc. Once again, they got absolutely none of the things that they were supposedly fighting for.

The Republicans, however, get to claim they've "ended" the shutdown, and have also gotten pretty much everything they wanted.

Whatever they may have gotten passed in the Senate, calling it a win before it's made it through the House is premature.

No.

Next question.

Lmao these fucking headlines are such a joke.

Wikipedia page "Vertibrate" section "Evolutionary History".

Once ICE funding runs out and harm on the ground stops, the dems will have won. This is step 1. They can't make it there without the first step, but if they don't actually make it to affecting real people, this is just Lucy telling Charlie Brown to kick the football for the 4258tg time.

I'm curious about how the writers are going to resolve that "TSA paycheck" plotline. The Senate going out for recess is a decent cliffhanger, but it feels like the writers are going to develop another arc. Maybe they'll give us another Iran episode while the TSA arc is on hold?

Doesn’t matter it’s Lemmy; nothing a minority party could do is enough.

its funny how these things go out as like one thing in a process goes out and is not complete.
