People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.
People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

Trump had urged Hondurans to vote for President Asfura days before MS-13 gang members posing as election observers threatened to kill anyone who didn’t vote for him. Amid weeks of election uncertainty and protests, Trump warned Hondurans of 'hell to pay' if they chose a different outcome.

What you can expect from Warsh as Fed Chair
-More emphasis on what suits POTUS if it's a Republican
-Sudden concerns about inflation and fiscal deficits the moment it's not an R in the WH.
Don't expect the Fed to be a good-faith broker if govt is divided in the next crisis

Q: All those Fed governors who wanted to pause interest rates, do you think they'll have their mind changed when there's a new chairman?
