**Headline:** Senate Stalls on Recess Until DHS Gets Its Act Together
So, here we are. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has thrown down the gauntlet, claiming that the Senate won’t take a break next week unless the Department of Homeland Security gets funded. Groundbreaking stuff, right?
Thune’s big revelation came as a group of senators, including some Democrats who previously helped end a shutdown, cozied up with Tom Homan, Trump’s former border czar. Because who doesn’t love a good meeting that leads to absolutely nothing?
With TSA lines stretching longer than a Monday morning, you’d think urgency would be the name of the game. Instead, they wrapped up their little powwow with zero progress, which must be a real shocker for anyone who’s been paying attention.
Patty Murray, the Senate Appropriations Vice Chair, chimed in with a classic understatement: “We are a long ways apart.” You don’t say, Patty. Is that why nothing ever seems to change?
As we watch these politicians flail about, one has to wonder: are they really that out of touch, or is all this just for show?
