Democrats made an offer, Trump rejected it. Welcome to democracy.

No, Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement and Trump rejected it and said he didn't want any compromise with the Democrats. He said he wouldn't entertain any deals until his voter suppression act was passed. That's not democracy that is a dictatorship. Trump owns it at this point.
Wrong
In closed-door negotiations, pushed forward primarily by U.S. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., a group of Senate Democrats and Republicans floated a tentative off-ramp: vote on the fiscal year 2026 Homeland Security bill, but withhold the $5.5 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation operations.
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has rejected Republicans’ latest offer. Schumer’s position is that either Republicans accept every one of Democrats’ demands, or DHS remains shut down. “Democrats have repeatedly said that they want to pay TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and employees who defend America from cyberattacks. This bill would do it,” a frustrated Thune said Wednesday. “I hope Democrats will work with us to finalize an agreement and reopen the Department of Homeland Security this week.”
The democrats claim to be the party of the people, but instead prefer to defend illegal immigrants and crimonals than making sure TSA gets paid and people can fly.
Meanwhile senator murphy said the people democats care more most about are illegals.
" Murphy replied. "So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country."
