No Closer on Funding Homeland Security

Punchbowl News: “Congress is once again in a crisis. Funding for the Department of Homeland Security will run out one week from today, and Congress is miles from a solution.”

“The political dynamics surrounding the DHS funding fight are starting to feel a lot like those that played out during the disastrous 43-day full government shutdown in October and November.”

“While the current clash is more limited in scope, we’ve already seen Hill leaders retreat comfortably to their partisan corners. One of the reasons why last year’s shutdown lasted so long was because of a similar incentive structure.”
