I hate this timeline. This is NOT how to thank veterans. A Purple Heart recipient deserves our eternal gratitude. They have more than earned citizenship and should be treated like a citizen regardless of any paperwork status.
Put that in any new immigration bill.

Wish I could say something more weighty than "clown shit" but this is clown shit, not serious legislative maneuvers from the Democratic Senate Whip. Durbin's big ask is a pointless symbolic vote, even if it passes (it won't) Speaker Johnson said the House will never take it up.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

To be clear, this deal still needs to go through a debate and amendment process and more 60-vote thresholds to pass the Senate, and then it must pass the House. There's still room for constituent pressure.
