Republicans Cave and End DHS Shutdown—Without Funding ICE

Republicans in Congress voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security Thursday, effectively ending the 76-day shutdown of the department. The bill, passed by a voice vote in the House, is a win for Democrats, as it still includes no money for ICE or Border Patrol , and is now headed to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law. House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly decided to finally support the bill after a private meeting with his fellow Republican leaders earlier in the day, where they agreed that the situation couldn’t continue. The GOP will still try to fund ICE through the reconciliation process, which takes much longer but only requires a simple majority in both chambers of Congress. Previously, House Republicans had criticized their counterparts in the Senate for passing the measure with a voice vote, which doesn’t record individual members’ votes, only to adopt the same method on Thursday. Conservatives were not happy with the decision, but didn’t see any good options. Representative Chip Roy said, “I think it’s asinine that we’re funding the government this way,” but Representative Clay Higgins said, “The speaker, I think, handled, under the circumstances, very well.” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin complained last

‘Walmart doing us dirty’: Texas man goes to Walmart for extension cord. Then he finds one on clearance—and rolls back the price

A clearance label might make you think you’re getting a good deal. However, one Texas Walmart customer decides to peel back the sale label, discovering that clearance doesn’t mean the price always goes down. In a video with over 15,000 views, TikToker RipperSG ( @austin_adams214 ) shows an extension cord on a shelf at Walmart . A clearance sticker lists the price as $16.48. “We be getting scammed,” he says, pulling the tag back to show the original price: $15.88. He finds another clearance extension cord listed as $23.97 on clearance, with a hidden original label listing it as $22.97. “We’re getting robbed blind,” he remarks. “Every single one of these that’s on clearance, doesn’t matter what it is, it’s all rigged.” Does Walmart sell clearance for more than original price? Other Walmart customers notice that the retailer’s clearance prices don’t always offer a heavy discount. One shopper on the r/YouShouldKnow subreddit points out that Walmart clearance tags don’t have an original price on them. So, you don’t really know how much you’re saving. “This is often to make a person believe the price is reduced but in fact they just want to sell them faster without reducing first,” they

She rang my doorbell at 5 AM for a freebie. I turned the high-pressure sprinklers on.

I posted a beautiful bookshelf on the LocalAll "Freebies" board, explicitly stating: Available on curb at 9:00 AM Saturday. No early birds. At 5:00 AM, my doorbell rang furiously. I looked out the window and saw my neighbor grinning and banging on the glass to "beat the rush." I didn't even open the door. I grabbed my phone, opened my smart home app, and activated the high-pressure lawn sprinklers. The heavy jets of freezing water hit her directly in the back. She shrieked, dropped her coffee cup on the concrete, and sprinted back to her house entirely soaked in the freezing morning air.
