YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter 76 days, the government shutdown that left DHS without funding has finally ended. And it looks like Speaker Mike Johnson caved to Democrats.
The big sticking point that kept this shutdown going was Republicans refusing to pass a budget that didn’t include more funding for ICE and CBP. Trump told his MAGA goons in the house to hold the line and not pass anything that didn’t include funding for ICE, CBP, and include his SAVE act to rig the midterms. Well, looks like house Republicans finally caved and passed a budget that funds DHS without any of those things.
For 76 days, TSA agents, FEMA workers, and even the Secret Service have gone without regular paychecks. All for the goal of furthering Trump’s fascistic power grabs. Also, this is a rare W for the Democrats. The thing is, will they learn from this victory and keep up the pressure to get more concessions from Republicans?
