So uh let's look past the constitutionality of Trump funding the TSA through an executive order because anyone challenging it would be committing political suicide.
How, exactly, does that help the GOP? If the TSA is being funded anyway, doesn't it benefit Senate Dems to just not accept any bill that they don't like? GOP is basically throwing away one of their biggest levers to try to force Dems to compromise.
And look, I'm all for that. Dems should just reject bills they don't like if there's nothing for them in the bills. Fuck funding DHS/ICE. Fuck the Voter ID stuff. Just keep saying "no" until you get some wins because Trump seems to want to just hand you them on a silver platter anyway.
