It does nothing to address the judge’s order. Congress still hasn’t approved funding for the building.

The GOP will pass the Senate plan to fund DHS. That will be a bill that clears the 60 vote threshold.

After that, they can use budget reconciliation in the Senate and in that case they don't need 60 votes. Merely 51, which they have.

The House will slip in $1.00 for the ballroom 'with the balance of funding to be provided by private donations, managed by the executive branch'. All the lawsuits and delays disappear at that point.

I'd love for someone to explain why we should continue to host state dinners and important diplomatic functions outside under a tent and in the mud.
