Government shutdown - February edition

[Anonymous]

Annnnnd Trump made a post yesterday blaming Dems and Wes Moore over pollution on the Potomac. So it's Democrats who were defunding FEMA? Democrats were the ones trying to non-renew a bunch of COREs right before the ice storm across much of the US collided with an ICE storm in Minneapolis???

Hopefully this means FEMA will get traction through the FEMA Act to become an independent agency again.

We're definitely looking at after SOTU, but any idea if we’ll see movement after?

Trump decides to shut down TSA Pre Check and global Entry rather than curtail ICE by a tiny bit. That is a choice.
Gee, I wonder who most of the people who benefit from these services? the well healed business people and world travelers, who are mostly MAGA.

How does the GOP believe long lines and angry passengers at airports is going to help Trump?

Clear uses the precheck screeners (who won’t be there)

But Trump TACO’d on this anyway.

Most of the “well traveled” people I know with TSA Pre and GE are liberal. I assumed Trump was trying to screw his enemies. We just flew home from Orlando yesterday and very few people at that airport have TSA Pre.

Which decades were those?

DHS was created by moving functions from other agencies, such as Department of Justice, Department of the Treasury, and FEMA.

what about the Coast Guard. ICE Barbie took all their search and rescue planes and now they're all furloughed. What a mess.
