1. The reasons in the past why longer shutdowns were uncomfortable for Dems is loss of funding for things like TSA and Food Stamps
2. Schumer cut a deal that funds everything (such as TSA and Food Stamps) but the DHS through the end of the fiscal year
3. DHS funding would last two weeks. Then Congress would have to pass more funding.
4. If Congress didn’t pass more funding for DHS in two weeks, then DHS **and only DHS** (and NOT things like TSA and Food Stamps) would shutdown
> Many Democrats say DHS shouldn’t receive the two weeks of funding — and Jeffries appears to be siding with them, raising the possibility that the shutdown could extend past Monday.
Are Democrats actually this fucking stupid? This is like literally the fucking marshmallow test
