I joked with my team that we should get a #dischargepetition to fund the #government, thinking a discharge petition is impossible for #appropriations bills.
Reader, there is a discharge petition for DHS appropriations (without ICE and CBP). With every Democrat on it
Mike Johnson refuses to sign the #Senate -passed DHS funding bill.
My office is frantically finishing #appropriations today (on very constricted GOP timeline)
Me to my supervisor: “uhhh, I can still go home tomorrow, right”
Her: “not our circus, friend, go home” 🤡
ok fine, ignore the fact this will go absolutely nowhere in the 119th Congress (MAYBE get it into FY27 LHHS (Labor, Health and Human Services, and Related Agencies) #appropriations bill, but...kinda cool, still? Yes, would be way cooler if we had the majority?
💰 The military's request for $200 #billion in #additional funding for the #Iran war was met with stiff #opposition in #Congress, as Democrats and even some Republicans questioned the need for the money after large defense #appropriations last year.

#FinstadWatch
Is #BradFinstad a magician ... able to turn $2 million into $3M?
According to the #GOP #Appropriations Committee Reflecting Technical and Conforming Changes says only $ 2 million was approved on #HR7148 ?
Has the #TrumpAdministration released any funds yet?

It appears #Schumer & the #Dems bought us two weeks to raise more hell & push for more of what we want in the #DHS #appropriations deal. Use this time to give them more constraints to ask for, protest at R offices, ⬆️ boycotts, etc. Keep calling, writing, etc. (Sen+Cong both). 1/

There’s still time to contact your senators on #DHS #appropriations (I have). Indivisible has info & tools to call or email them. Calling is best but email is still good & better than nothing if you’re pressed for time. Links to their resources👇.
