The House is expected to consider the partial-funding measure this time, after Speaker Mike Johnson announced a two-track plan with Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Wednesday. Under the ambitious agreement, GOP leaders said they would move to end the partial shutdown by partially reopening DHS and then pursue a second, larger bill this spring that will include spending for the president’s immigration and border agenda.

It’s not clear when the House will vote to pass the DHS funding bill that they had initially rejected, and approving any broader agenda bill will be a significant test for GOP leaders who are facing Congress’ tight margins just months out from the midterm elections.

Both chambers are away from Washington on their two-week recess Easter and Passover recess but have been convening brief “pro forma” sessions. The House did not take up the Senate-approved funding bill during its session on Thursday, ultimately adjourning until Monday.

House GOP sources previously told CNN that it is highly unlikely the chamber will make its moves in the next few days, with many Republicans still eager for clear assurances that the immigration funding will be delivered and still wary of the precedent of letting Democrats successfully defund parts of an agency they dislike.

Lawmakers, meanwhile, have been under intense pressure to return from recess to fund DHS and pay TSA employees among other key federal workers, with TMZ publishing pictures of members leaving Washington for their home states, on vacation, at family events and on congressional trips abroad.

>President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested he will order that all Department of Homeland Security employees be paid,
So wait why is this even a fucking issue? If you could ask them to be paid overnight just do it.

>>1502652
Because he probably doesn't have the authority, technically.
It's probably going to be a "LOL get fucked and take me to court over it" situation.
Which normally I wouldn't agree with, but the majority of Americans voted for Trump and Democrats are fighting the will of the people with their limited power, for their extremely radical base.

>>1502660
have you ever posted without lying?

>>1502652
It's literally not the president's job or authority. Congress passes all things related to budget and funding, as a check against power for the executive office.
When the Founding Fathers drafted what would become the United States' legal governance, they were very, VERY wary of a head of state having total power. They just got done with a Revolutionary War to not have to answer to a king, after all.
That's why congress is said to have 'The power of the purse.' They're the ones that say what can or cannot be purchased or funded by the government, and the fact that Republicans and Democrats are both trying to hamstring the other team is why we end up with shutdowns. It's the most power that they have during their tenure.

>>1502660
>>1502681
Well yes, I'm asking more why he even bothers fucking lying about this. People are just gonna see that you lied and get pissed. He literally could be like "Oh it's the dems fault" but instead feels the need to give false hope that he HOPEFULLY knows is complete bullshit.

>>1502683
He already lies about almost everything. Those who are still on board with him aren't going to change their minds just because he talks shit

>>1502660
Wrong buddy, the majority of Americans did not vote or voted not for Trump

>>1502681
Congress also declares wars

>>1502660
In 2024, assuming the election was free and fair, 77.3 million people voted for trump,. 75.0 million voted for Harris. About 87 million people didn't vote.

>Trump had the majority of Americans vote for him.
No he didn't, how do you not understand basic math?
>I think it's okay for my king to break the law because dems are obstructing him in spite of house and senate majorities and a stacked supreme court. I belong to the party of law and order, unless those laws are inconvenient. I am a fucking dumbass, and probably one of the conservative bases' brightest minds.

>>1502694
The people who didn't vote didn't care one way or another who won the election, otherwise they would have voted.
Trump had the will of the majority

>>1502710
he certainly has the majority of the shills

>>1502727
And yet the entire media is against Trump

>>1502734
Bullshit. Trump has blunders every day they fucking raked Biden over the coals for yet the media barely pays attention to. The motherfucker got up in the middle of a diplomatic meeting to look out a window and muse about how cool his ballroom is going to be. He's actively sundowning and the media refuses to talk about it.

>Bullshit.
Remember that time they said he had cancer because of a bruise on his hand. And that time his assassination attempt was fake. And the time they said he had dementia because he stuttered.

This is a new Democope.

>>1502744
knowing math is a democrat trick? lol

>>1502745
They don't have working knowledge of english thats good enough to explain the mistake they've made, all they have are shill notes to go off of.
Trumps never had a majority of Americans approve of him, and at this point he never will

>>1502745
>MOM I'm doing a play on words!!!
Fuck you, goon.

why are you calling trump a little faggot, shill anon? or are you too esl to understand punctuation

>>1502758
>Doesn't even try to refute the argument

I accept your concession

>>1502748
That isn't a play on words. Apparently you don't know math or english. You're objectively wrong here, and you're not even smart enough to pivot, just screech like a pansy bitchboy with milquetoast insults. Fuck you pedo supporting fascist piece of human garbage.

>>1502758
I mean Trump is a little faggot, easy mistake for a shill to make.

>>1502762
i would never argue against calling trump a little faggot, esl shill. it's just weird that you did that. it's almost like you don't have adequate control over the english language

>>1502758
>why are you calling trump a little faggot, shill anon? or are you too esl to understand punctuation

Why are you calling Trump a little faggot, shill anon? Or are you too ESL to understand punctuation?

I fixed your pronunciation, semi-illiterate anon.

Reading and writing skills are so atrocious in today's youth.

>>1502776
nothing changed about the meaning of that sentence, esl shill. 0 points for you, study harder

uhuh. papers, please. we only allow legal immigrants now. you will be deported to a third country if your original country would murder you for your gayness

>>1502805
I mean, you're the one out here measuring how gay people are. That sounds really fucking gay to me.

>>1502745
you're an absolute retard grasping for straws. the people who don't vote are simply that they DIDN"T vote aka they aren't relevant. the vast majority of voters voted for trump that's objectively truth and you are a fucking loser who keeps clutching pearls oh technicallly these people who never voted didn't vote him.
they didn't vote for kamala either and there's 0 elections with a 100% turnover rate besides north fucking korea

>>1502746
the majority of americans hate democrats, you will never win the vote again retard. you're even outright dismissing polls claiming muh bias because they're inconveneint.
trump is more popular then the democrats and you're making a pathetic excuse on how technically the people who didn't vote are secret democrat supporters because ur a mentally ill uneducated retard

Interesting tactic. Perhaps we should give you those 3 days off,

He can't help it. His whole purpose for being here is to present the illusion of the normalization of the far right agenda.

>>1502710
Not true. Maybe some felt that way but I assure you that there was at least one person (yours truly) who didn't vote because all of the candidates sucked.

>>1503336
Well,thanks. You've fortified your right to complain then. Good job.

>>1503336
Cool. You didn't vote for a black woman who would've given us the status quo, OR a demented racist rapist who plunged the country into chaos. Those things are totally equal and you're definitely justified. You shouldn't hang yourself.

>>1503353
To be fair, no one voted for Kamala.
And Trump secured the popular vote.
No one likes Democrats. That anon should've wrote himself in, or voted third party, then voted for his local and federal representatives (hopefully not Democrats).
Yeah a third party wouldn't have won, but that's because people don't vote for them, they'd rather sit around and not vote.
Also, this is how Democracy works. Everyone has to eat a shit sandwich to get a fraction of what they want.

It violates the anti-deficiency act. Agencies are only allowed to spend what Congress allocates to them.

>but the majority of Americans voted for Trump
Yeah I remember his campaign promise "I'M GOING TO SHUT DOWN THE WORLD ECONOMY WITH A RETARDED WAR, AND THEN THE US GOVENRMENT AND NEVER RE-OPEN IT" cue the tweet about him bragging that he would never let the government shut down under his watch.

>>1503377

49-47 or something.
That's a majority shitlord.

>>1503633
77 mil vs 75 mil. Your numbers aren't even fucking close.

There's about 330 million Americans. For "The majority of Americans" to have voted for him, 166 mil would need to vote for him. He didn't even get half that.

>Herp Derp, but I said out of those who voted!

No you didn't you lying piece of shit. You made the argument trump represents the majority of Americans, so he should be allowed to break the law. You're an honorless coward and a treasonous traitor, you should hang for that for that.

There's two options. You are a massive faggot who can't do the most basic math, evidence supported at this point; or you are a massive faggot arguing in bad faith. Either way, you're objectively wrong here, The majority of Americans did not vote for trump, the majority didn't vote. I don't care which at this point, fuck you stupid fascist faggot.
