Raw Story
President Donald Trump outlined a plan on Wednesday to eliminate the Senate filibuster to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which has remained unfunded since February over disputes regarding ICE and CBP. Trump stated Republicans would work as fast, and as focused, as possible to replenish border and ICE funding while claiming Radical Left Democrats won't be able to stop us.
The filibuster rule currently requires 60 votes to pass bills in the Senate. Trump rejected a previous proposal that would have funded most DHS agencies, including the TSA, but excluding ICE and CBP.Trump wrote on Truth Social that the filibuster should be repealed, IMMEDIATELY, and claimed his plan was essentially foolproof. He vowed to work with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to advance the proposal.The TSA shortage has left airports nationwide understaffed for weeks.Watch the video below.
