    Framing this as a Trump capitulation seems… inaccurate.

    This is a DNC capitulation on ICE as now the Senate will only need 50 votes (which the RNC can whip up easily) to pass whatever ICE budget they want.

      The main thing is that the SAVE act doesn’t look like it will be passed, which is important long-term

        Yeah if the SAVE Act passes, that’s my cue to follow in my great grandparent’s footsteps and flee the burgeoning fascist regime before things get much much worse.

      Yeah this really just looks like the second loss in a row as it relates to TSA. So at this point, TSA workers have gone without pay two times and the democrats will have received nothing in return. The GOP will easily get their 50 votes in reconciliation and everything will continue as it did before. What was even the point of this then?
