Senate does not advance a package of six FY2026 spending bills ahead of Friday's deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown, but Senators and the White House are reportedly working on a deal to pass five bills as a group and separate out Homeland Security funding and extend it for a short period to allow for more talks on how to reform ICE; President Donald Trump holds a Cabinet meeting, but does not call on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem or Attorney General Pam Bondi to speak and does not take any reporters' questions; White House Border Czar Tom Homan says he has ordered federal immigration authorities to work on an eventual drawdown plan for federal law enforcement in Minnesota, operations until then will be targeted and he is “staying ‘til the problem's gone”; Suspect in the attack on Rep.

After a federal immigration officer fatally shot Alex Pretti last weekend in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats say they won't vote to fund the Department of Homeland Security without changes to how the federal government enforces immigration laws. We discuss what Democrats want, what Republicans are offering, and the political risks of another government shutdown.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome the arrival of some sanity and some protection for immigration officials in Minnesota, examine Democrats' push to shut down the government over ICE despite one glaring flaw, and react to a bizarre NYPD investigation involving a raccoon.First, they're pleasantly surprised to see local law enforcement finally break up protests outside a hotel where immigration agents are believed to be staying. It's a welcome shift that may stem from President Trump's calls with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. But Greg also notes Walz's very slippery language when claiming he's always cooperated in handing over criminals to ICE.Next, they roll their eyes, as Democrats seem determined to shut down the federal government again with another deadline looming. The Democrats are refusing to fund ICE but Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is pointing out that shutting down the government won't shut down ICE. So it it would just be another political stunt.Finally, they end on a lighter note by highlighting an NYPD officer placed on modified duty while an investigation proceeds into his fatal shooting of a raccoon that was allegedly attacking people. Greg explains why he hates raccoons, and both question the wisdom of spending time and resources probing something so trivial.Please visit our great sponsors:Try QUO for free, PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months when you visit https://Quo.com/3MLTake your personal data back with Incogni.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWMonday's fallout is real, and it's ugly. Forty days of government shutdown, and the one card Democrats had left? They folded. You'll hear the consequences, and it's not pretty.Eight senators turned a massive victory into a pratfall. Momentum crushed in forty-eight hours, leaving millions stuck in the chaos while the political theater played out.More Trump pardons for January 6? Guess what Donald, the delusional one is doing now. You'll hear it all.The Supreme Court is back in the spotlight. They're deciding whether mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day still count. Democracy is on the clock, and the rules are bending for some while others are left scrambling.This isn't just politics. It's about survival of truth, accountability, and whether anyone in power actually earns your trust.Families waiting for relief. Workers hoping for paychecks. Every move has real-world consequences, and they're playing games like nothing is at stake.I break down the fallout, the pardons, and the ballot battles, and why the country can't afford to blink, even for a second.And there's another Supreme Court ruling you'll want to hear about. You will be shocked at what they decided.There's also a major announcement about my podcast. I think this is important.Listen to the full episode.

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long is in for Jim today. Join Rob and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they chronicle the Senate Dems finally ending their pointless shutdown, President Trump promising millions of Americans money from tariff revenues, and now the New York Times reports how much Zohran Mamdani's agenda will cost.First, they welcome the news that eight Senate Democrats voted to end debate on a bill to fund the government, clearing the way for its passage. While the progressive left is furious at those who “caved,” Rob notes the shutdown strategy was never going to succeed. He also explains why Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is spectacularly wrong in arguing that the shutdown was necessary to “save democracy.”Next, they shake their heads as President Trump promising to send $2,000 checks to low and middle income Americans due to increased revenues from tariffs. Rob and Greg explain why this is not a good idea and how very recent history gives us the proof. They also scratch their heads over the emerging idea of 50-year mortgages.Finally, they find the timing suspicious as the New York Times waits until after the election to reveal the massive costs of New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani's proposals for free childcare and bus rides. They also discuss Mamdani's idea of raising more revenue to pay for all this by increasing fines.Please visit our great sponsors:Get 10% off your first month of BetterHelp by visiting https://BetterHelp.com/3ML today!OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ designed to keep skin healthier, stronger, and more resilient over time.

Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats hold lengthy, separate, private meetings on Day 37 of the federal government shutdown strategizing on how to end the stalemate. Republicans may bring to a vote a new proposal that includes some regular spending bills and a promise for a vote on extending health insurance premium tax credits; President Donald Trump comments on plans to cut 10% of airline flights at 40 of the busiest U.S. airports due to air traffic controller staffing shortages during the government shutdown; House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announces she will not run for reelection after nearly 40 years in Congress; President Trump announces a deal with the makers of popular weight loss drugs to drastically cut prices; Senate defeats a resolution that would have blocked the President from conducting military operations against Venezuela; leaders of five Central Asian countries are in Washington as the Trump Administration looks to secure new sources of rare earth minerals.

Democrats cave on shutdown after Election Day—was the timing deliberate? Duane Patterson and Jim Talent analyze Virginia and New Jersey results, reveal over a dozen Senate Dems now negotiating to reopen government, and discuss the conservative movement's Tucker Carlson problem. Government could have reopened last Friday.Watch this episode here.
Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss left-leaning unions now demanding Democrats support the GOP bill to fund the government, Republicans essentially surrendering the fight against Gavin Newsom's California gerrymandering referendum, and Graham Platner's campaign manager jumping ship after just three days on the job.First, they highlight the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) union publicly demanding an end to the government shutdown and urging Democrats to back the clean extension of government funding pushed by Republicans. Four different pilots' unions are making the same demand. Will this convince four more Senate Dems to switch sides?Next, they wince as the groups spending the most money to defeat California Gov. Gavin Newsom's ballot initiative to gerrymander the state's congressional map are now spending very little and essentially surrendering the fight.Finally, they get a kick out of Maine Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner's campaign manager stepping down after three days on the job. Kevin Brown says it's because he and his wife just found out they are expecting a baby and Platner deserves a campaign manager with undivided attention. But that timing seems awfully convenient given Platner's Nazi tattoo scandal.Please visit our great sponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money at https://RocketMoney.com/MARTINI Build your fall sanctuary of comfort with Boll and Branch.

In this episode, we break down how Senate Democrats blocked the twelfth GOP effort to reopen the government and tied reopening to health-care subsidy and ACA concessions, while Republicans push a “reopen first, negotiate later” approach. We also look at the fallout—hundreds of thousands of federal workers unpaid as agencies prep layoffs—and what to watch next as both sides decide whether to hold firm or compromise.Get the top 40+ AI Models for $20 at AI Box: https://aibox.ai

For the Senate Democrats this is a big week for defiance. At last they are making popular demands as part of a deal to pass a budget and avoid a government shutdown.

7.17.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Senate Dems Walkout, GOP $9B Aid & NPR/PBS Cuts, Prison Phone Fee Outrage & Wild Tuberville Rant Senate Democrats stage a bold protest--walking out as Republicans push through yet another Trump-backed judicial nominee. Next, major funding cuts are on the chopping block. GOP lawmakers vote to slash $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting--threatening the future of NPR and PBS. We'll break down what these cuts mean and why they matter. In Louisville, outrage intensifies as the Justice Department recommends just one day in jail for the former officer convicted in the Breonna Taylor case--a decision that echoes the pain and protests of 2020. We'll hear from the Taylor family's attorney. Tonight, we're also talking about the high cost of prison phone calls in North Carolina, where Black residents are incarcerated at four times the rate of white residents. A former FCC Commissioner joins us to discuss. Plus--Senator Tommy Tuberville says, "If you don't want to be deported, don't hang around illegals." Seriously.

Welcome to the skeptic's guide to impeachment. Why is a third impeachment effort of Trump necessary? Because demanding impeachment puts every member of Congress on trial, revealing who we can trust and who is bought off. Meet unanimous consent: the Senate's dirty little secret, and the power Democrats refuse to use. Imagine if all it took to stop the Senate in its tracks was one simple word: No. Unanimous consent is a very real procedural quirk that gives every single senator, regardless of party or seniority, enormous power. All they have to do is deny consent. Just say no, and legislative business slows to a crawl. Now here's the catch: Republicans use this tool constantly. Democrats? Almost never. And that's not because they can't; it's because they choose not to. How does unanimous consent work? In the Senate, many of the chamber's archaic rules can be bypassed if no one objects. This process is called unanimous consent. It's used for everything from skipping quorum calls to fast-tracking nominations. The idea is to keep things moving. But here's the shocking part: any senator, at any time, for any reason, can halt this entire process by simply saying, “I object.” Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville famously abused this mechanism to block military promotions for nearly a year. And he paid no price for it. Why? Because it's perfectly within Senate rules. And yet, while authoritarianism rises, civil liberties are under siege, and people are being literally kidnapped off American streets, not a single Democratic senator has used this tool to slow the machinery down. By mid-April, according to Keira Havens, an organizer of Citizens Impeachment, along with former Congressional staffer for Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota, there were already around 500 recorded unanimous consent agreements in the 2025 Congressional Record. That's around 500 times every single senator, including vocal Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, gave the green light to fast-track Senate business. They could have slowed things down. They didn't. In fact, shortly after Cory Booker gave an impassioned speech in a historic filibuster marathon, the Senate used unanimous consent to speed-track a nominee: Jared Kushner's father, convicted felon Charles Kushner, to become the Ambassador to France. (Poor France!) Unanimous consent isn't some obscure loophole. It's an incredibly accessible and completely legal form of leverage: a filibuster on easy mode. You don't need to prepare a speech. You don't need to command the floor. Senate Dems just say one word: No. So why aren't Democrats using it? The excuses vary: wait for the midterms, preserve decorum, respect procedure. But these excuses fail a democracy in crisis. There won't be a midterm rescue if authoritarianism cements itself into place now. Senators like Elizabeth Warren and Chris Murphy speak out against abuses of power, but actions speak louder than works, especially under the watchful eye of history. It's time to hold Trump and his lawless administration accountable. What Can You Do? Start using the hashtag: #DemsJustSayNo Tweet at your senators: @SenWarren, @CoryBooker, @ChrisMurphyCT — Why do you keep consenting 500+ times? Educate others. “Unanimous consent” = silent agreement. Break the silence. Join or support organizing efforts like Citizens Impeachment that are pushing for real accountability. The Senate is designed to give each senator power. But power unused is power surrendered. Republicans understand that. Democrats need to learn fast actions speak louder than words. They can say no. They should say no. And if they won't, we the people must demand accountability now.
