The Capitol emptied out Thursday, a full day before the midnight Friday deadline for funding #DHS. Lawmakers who were deadlocked over new restrictions on #immigration officers jetted off to Munich for a security conference or headed home for a weeklong recess, seemingly unconcerned with the looming closure.

A #Trump hotel in #Oman. A tower in #India. A #GolfCourse near Riyadh, #SaudiArabia. These are just a few of the >20 overseas projects the #TrumpOrganization is pursuing, often requiring cooperation with foreign governments [um, #FARA folks???].

Even by the standards of an institution that has set records for #dysfunction in recent years, the #Republican-led #Congress in 2025 hit new lows for #productivity.
