> Senate Democrats discussed on Sunday blocking a Department of Homeland Security funding bill, with many citing ICE’s immigration crackdown. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., wrote on X he “cannot and will not vote” to fund Homeland Security “while this administration continues these violent federal takeovers of our cities.” The government could shut down shortly after midnight Saturday should the package fail to reach the required 60 votes. Prediction market Kalshi shows odds of a government shutdown around 77%—up from less than 10% shortly before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol in Minneapolis this weekend.
I can’t believe I’m reading a news article where the gambling odds of events are being discussed unironically.
