But you wouldn’t know this to read social media.

Any chance Trump will veto?

Good job to the Dems, this is what I like to see. I’ve been hard on them (deservedly I think) but this was well done.

The Republicans could have hired ten times more ICE murderers without Democratic help, but the would have had to repeal the Billionaire Bribe Bill. And that is like chapter one of their bible.

feels good man

Good job! American Democracy is on life support thanks to the antics by the Maga Fascist Party, but the fat lady has yet to sing. Don’t forget that in the USA We the people have the power. Vote, harass your elected, spend strategically if you can, protest, and resist fascism.

I’m so glad you pointed this out!

Newsflash to capitulationist Dems: Standing up for your principles can work!

Let’s pray it’s a learning moment

They’re also using up their last reconciliation bill of Trump’s presidency on this instead of, you know, anything else

for ONCE. thankfully.

The pro-democracy democrats are learning not to obey in advance.

Exactly

Once scrapped, the filibuster would not come back. Rs are eyeing the blue wave coming at them and calculating that they need the filibuster.

Like I’m not slamming the Dems necessarily — clearly the GOP wanted to do it in one package for some reason — but genuinely confused as to why this was fought over for months if it had no material impact on the outcome

The notion that ICE needs more funding is simply ridiculous. ICE has been over-funded until 2027. They don't even know what to do with all of their $$.

More of this. Much more.

First the redistricting, now this - it's like we've slipped through into a parallel universe where the Dems are an actual opposition party.

They already are but they're doing it with backhanded compliments instead of their usual cries of "Do Something!"

Is there any chance that he veto it? Bravo to the Democrats for standing up to the majority. 👏👍

I wonder if the orange emperor will veto

Agree - great job by the Democrats. It needs to be said, though, that the GOP leadership will declare victory and roughly half of the country will believe them.

There's probably a lesson in there that I fear Democratic leadership did/will not learn

Trump gonna be his usual idiot self and veto.

Whew. I’d rather watch close ball games than close politics. But this is good.

They got nothing. They just caved knowing that ICE would be funded through reconciliation.

A miracle has occurred!

An excellent way of putting it. Until today, shutdowns were always little-leaguers stepping into the box against Randy Johnson.

This is the way!

I'm sorry, I thought I heard you say the Dems didn't cave. I must be hallucinating.

Are we in bizarro world?

How many want to bet dickhead won't sign it?

The... Democrats didn't cave? Like, our Democrats? The ones in the US? Are we *sure* about this? Cause it doesn't sound like them at all.

Grudgingly: credit where credit is due. Not sure it cancels the FISA vote.

👏👏👏 we love it see it!!!

Let's hope this inspires the pro-democracy democrats to stand up to the bullies instead of reflexively caving.

Refreshing to see congressional Democrats actually do this, especially after the last shutdown fight.

It’s a technical problem because he can’t read or write.

And if POTUS doesn’t sign, he owns this shutdown!🍿

what about the farm bill that cuts SNAP benefits?

With absolutely no political blowback at all -- pure upside. I doubt the Dem leadership will learn the lesson from this: when your enemy is politically weak, kick them, hard and often.

all right, let's keep this momentum going until the fascists are crushed beneath us

My fucking opposition party doing their job and opposing bad shit. Thank you god

Nice to see Dems use to their advantage the mounting pressure that elapsing time places on politicians.

Let's see of Trump has the nerve to veto it.

Wait, didn't they stay till 3 AM to get 70 billion in funding for ICE? I'm confused

Democrats when they realize they can hold the line and win :

Will he sign it though?

Bill passed both chambers on a voice vote, which means unanimity. So in theory at least, that means Congress could override a Trump veto. But I highly doubt it will come to that.

Wait a second!!!! Are you saying that standing up for the rule of law, decency and the people you represent could actually work??????????? AND, that the party that constantly berates (officially) anyone to the left of Obama didn’t just send sternly worded letters? Could they learn from this????????

Johnson’s presser spun this in the exact opposite way. That Dems gained nothing. The gain was that ICE/CBP is on funding hold.

What a strange feeling... is this.... a positive emotion? About the Democrats? I haven't felt such a thing in so long

it's a foregone conclusion that this will happen

I mean, sure, but it will still pass.

I’m genuinely shocked by this.

🗽

They can override, both votes were unanimous

GOP in disarray?

YES! MORE. MORE! OFFENSE! ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK OFFENSE!

ICE/CBP have money because it was funded by OBBBA, which every single democrat opposed

Republicans will pass the ICE/CBP funding through on a reconciliation bill without democratic votes. They will be 100% accountable for the cruelty
