Convicted felon President Trump’s insistence on that batshit stupid and corrupt $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” slush fund appears likely to doom any effort for another party-line reconciliation bill to follow up on the Big Beautiful piece of shit from last year, Punchbowl News reports.
Senate Republicans were trying to pass along party lines a $70 billion ICE and CBP funding package but too many in the chamber are either demanding some kind of “guardrails” to the fund or to simply nix it altogether because it’s fucking insane for Trump to try to pull this shit in a midterm year. Then there’s the Democrats’ agency in the “vote-a-rama” process that exposes the GOP to a shit ton of up-or-down votes on whatever amendments the Dems want to intro, ones requiring the Republicans to go on record about the fund and really whatever other suffering they want to inflict.
All of this means the likelihood of a total collapse of any legislation is increasingly likely.
