This is the dumbest government shutdown ever — and Americans will continue to pay the price. |

In the early hours of Friday morning — with wraparound lines and cancelled flights at airports thanks to TSA officers not getting paid — the Senate passed a bill to fund its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, for the rest of the fiscal year. This comes amid a 42-days-and-counting shutdown.. The legislation would not fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and would not fund Border Patrol. Republicans refused to meet Democrats even halfway on reforms to ICE after an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Good and Customs and Border Protection shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis two months ago. On Friday, the House Freedom Caucus revolted because the package did not include President Donald Trump's main 2026 legislative priority, the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote. That development put Speaker Mike Johnson in a bind and undermined the message from Republican leadership — that Democrats were to blame for the shutdown. True to form, Johnson then torpedoed the bill.
Neither side "won" anything. Democrats did not get any guardrails to ICE's practices — their major sticking point — since now Republicans are setting up a plan to fund ICE through the process of budget reconciliation, which allows them to avoid a Senate filibuster. This is easily the dumbest government shutdown of the 21st century and here's who is to blame. Read more here. |
