Well, howdy there, internet people, it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Republicans blocking TSA and DHS funding.

Senator Patty Murray of Washington is the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee

and asked for unanimous consent

on a measure that would fund Department of Homeland Security agencies that weren't involved in immigration enforcement.

Unanimous consent is a method of trying to move something that should face no resistance forward quickly.

The measure would have funded every agency Republicans have been fear-mongering and whining about on cable news and social media.

SISA would have been funded. That's our cybersecurity agency.

FEMA would have been funded.

The TSA lines would have disappeared.

The Coast Guard and so on.

All would have been funded.

Senator Gary Peters of Michigan called out the GOP fake outrage

and said that Republicans blocking it, quote, would send a very clear signal

that they are not interested in opening up TSA at our airports, FEMA for natural disasters,

or CSA protecting us from cyber threats. So, what did Republicans do when they were handed the opportunity to fund all the agencies

they said Democrats were blocking funding to?

They blocked it.

They stopped them from getting funding.

Senator Katie Britt of Alabama, who was the Republican who blocked the funding, said

quote, look, we're not going back to the era of defund police. We're not doing it. Now,

are all the traitors present? Let's get started, shall we? From rags to riches. I'm so sick of this.
