Once again, we're witnessing the spectacular failure of Congress to perform its most basic constitutional duty – and this time, they're literally running away from the mess they created.
Instead of staying in Washington to hammer out a deal on Department of Homeland Security funding, lawmakers packed their bags and headed home, leaving Americans wondering if our borders will remain secure during yet another government shutdown standoff.
According to reports, Congress abandoned the capital because "no deal was close" and they wanted to avoid "potential mayhem from keeping lawmakers idle during shutdown." Let that sink in, Patriots. These people are so useless that keeping them in DC during a crisis they created would somehow make things worse.
The Swamp's Priorities on Full Display
This is the same establishment that spent years obstructing President Trump's border security initiatives, and now they can't even keep DHS funded properly. While Border Patrol agents and ICE officers – the real heroes protecting our homeland – face uncertainty about their paychecks, the very politicians who should be fixing this crisis are probably sipping cocktails back in their home districts.
The Trump-Vance administration has been crystal clear about its mass deportation agenda and border security priorities. Yet here we have a Congress that would rather flee Washington than ensure our homeland security apparatus has the funding it needs to carry out the will of the American people.
"This is exactly why voters gave Republicans control of government – to end this kind of dysfunction and put America First," one GOP source noted.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem shouldn't have to deal with funding games while trying to secure our borders and implement President Trump's immigration enforcement agenda. This is government by crisis, and it's exactly the kind of swamp behavior that Trump was elected to drain.
Time for Accountability
Every American should be asking their representatives: Why did you run home instead of staying to fix the problem you created? Our homeland security isn't a political football – it's a constitutional responsibility.
President Trump didn't abandon his post when the going got tough. He stayed and fought for every American. It's time Congress showed the same backbone, or voters will remember who stood with America and who ran away when it mattered most.
