Senate Democrats and White House Reach Spending Deal

4. I wouldn't say that

Here's the positive way to spin it:

Is that the GOP really, really, really didn't want DHS split into a separate bill, and now the Dems have massive leverage on DHS bill to force changes, since there will be no downside in terms of forcing another shutdown. They also get a two week stopgap rather than a four week stopgap. The shorter stopgap means that the current political disgust with DHS informs the voting, while four weeks lets something else invade the news cycle.

Still, giving these fascisti money for even two weeks seems a fucking gut punch, especially for the brave people of Minneapolis out there at the barricades.

I suspect that there's an unstated condition as well: with DHS funding on the table, Noem has to go. Period. I'll bet she's out by Tuesday if the House passes this.
