Senate Democrats on Thursday defeated a motion to proceed to a House-passed bill to reopen the Department of Homeland Security and end the 27-day shutdown that has hampered the functions of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and other critical agencies.

excellent

The motion failed by a vote of 51 to 46. Centrist Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans to advance the funding bill. It needed 60 votes to advance.

centrist my fucking asshole.

    It is time to disband ICE and TSA. The Coast Guard should be moved back to the military.

    Honestly, the entirety of DHS can go away and we can move any useful agencies to more appropriate locations. Just the name alone is so cringe it is crazy.

      Roll the useful bits (i.e. everything related to disaster response and preparation) back into FEMA.
