Yesterday, in a voice vote, (meaning the identity of the voters goes unrecorded) the Senate voted on a measure to end the DHS stand off, so they could declare themselves done, and quickly run out of town for Easter and Spring Break. Details seem kind of hard to understand; the proposal did not yield to Democrat's demands on ICE, but didn't satisfy House Republicans, who rejected it out of hand and passed their own competing bill. Meanwhile, President Trump cut the Gordian Knot by directing newly confirmed DHS Sec Mullin to pay TSA agents, without specifying where the funds would be coming from. From NYPo, End to airport misery in sight as Senate approves deal to end DHS shutdown — without Dem immigration demands. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, NEW: Dems Throw In Towel on Schumer Shutdown II: TSA Boogaloo. CNN whines House GOP rejects Senate DHS deal, prolonging shutdown. The Peacock crows House Republicans pass DHS funding bill that Democrats call 'dead on arrival' in the Senate "The vote came hours after President Donald Trump signed an order directing DHS to pay TSA workers, who haven't received paychecks despite working during the funding lapse."

Hat Hair's John Sexton, Trump Will Issue an Order to Pay TSA Agents Despite Shutdown. At TownHall Matt Vespa thinks you should Watch What Happens When CNN Learns Trump Is Signing an Order Permitting DHS to Pay TSA Agents. Althouse, "Therefore, I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents..." ""... in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it! I want to thank our hardworking TSA Agents and also, ICE, for the incredible help they have given us at the Airports. I will not allow the Radical Left Democrats to hold our Country hostage any longer. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump writes, at Truth Social. Question: How is he doing this? Answer: It's not easy! But he's going to do it. Perhaps he means: Go ahead and sue me and at least the workers willbe paid until the courts stop me... if they dare." Shelby Talcott @ShelbyTalcott, "New: The money Trump is using to pay TSA is available from last year’s tax cuts bill (which also spent billions on immigration enforcement), according to an administration official. More w/@burgessev", Quote Burgess Everett @burgessev "Republicans started talking about Trump paying TSA workers with existing funds a few days ago as they learned he had the option. Unclear why it took 41 days of shutdown but the approaching recess and interminable negotiations played a role @ShelbyTalcott. Senate might have approved it today if he hadn’t acted …" Don Surber catches Spartacus ranting to an empty airport, Trump ends TSA hostage crisis.

RNC Research @RNCResearch, "WATCH: Senator Jon Husted outlines popular commonsense photo ID requirements to vote: "All that's in this amendment is 5 forms of photo ID that people can list to vote." Democrats are literally voting against this." Matt Vespa, Trump Was on Fire With These Clips Yesterday. "One reporter tried to catch Trump with a loaded question about mail-in ballots, noting that he had used one in the recent elections in Florida. The president isn’t a fan of this voting method, but the question was purely foolish. There are concerns about fraud, and this reporter failed miserably trying to get a ‘gotcha’ moment. Trump responded sharply, pointing out the exceptions and emphasizing that he’s the president of the United States, and that’s how he decided to cast his ballot while away, which is within the rules."

"Behind the unbridled hatred of Trump is the more abiding hatred of American and Israeli military prowess." Trent Telenko @TrentTelenko, "The Mullah Regime of Iran is in very deep trouble. Any critical thinker can see that. What I find remarkable is how many people who should know better are so blinded by their hostility to Netanyahu and Trump that they ignore the military context and the domestic context inside Iran." At Althouse, Trump answers the question "Did the CIA tell you that Ayatollah Jr. is gay?"

Richard Seymore @Roll_69d420, "Don't worry Aussies, although fuel is in tight supply your top official have assured me that the flow of migrants wont slow down at all.

NYPo, Gavin Newsom floats idea of mandatory national service. jay plemons @jayplemons, "Victor Davis Hansen gives a brutal rundown of Newsom's history and how he has destroyed California - Never had a private job that he got on his own - A creation of the Getty family and his well-connected parents - Been in office for 30 years - Overseen disastrous programs like the high-speed rail project - High-speed rail originally forecasted at $40 billion, now approaching $40 billion with zero track laid - High-speed rail will likely never extend beyond Bakersfield to Merced and will lose money every year - Continued pouring billions into the failing high-speed rail while neglecting critical freeways - Pushed a green agenda, yet the Monterey battery storage plant has blown up twice - Oversaw a $2 billion solar plant in the Mojave Desert that was inefficient, harmful to wildlife, and ultimately dismantled..."

Stewart Baker at the Volokh Conspiracy is Investigating FISA Abuses in Crossfire Hurricane.

"I’ll leave this here for y’all to comment below, but apparently, former National Counterterrorism Center head Joe Kent offered to testify in the trial of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, for the defense. Michael Shellenberger of Public wrote a post about these allegations, specifically that Kent felt the FBI didn’t properly investigate the crime, believed there was a “foreign nexus,” and yes, Israel was part of this crazy story, although Kent couldn’t provide anything conclusive. He also claimed he was blocked from investigating this matter further, which is reportedly bunk since his agency had no authority to analyze what had been collected (via Public):

At Am Great, The Great Victor Davis Hanson looks at Who Was Cesar Chavez—and Who Will He Become? "The canonized legacy of Cesar Chavez is collapsing under revelations that recast a sainted activist as a deeply flawed—and possibly predatory—man the Left can no longer easily defend." Just another leftist hero with feet of clay. "There comes a redeemer and he slowly, too, fades away. And there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay, And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay, And night comes so quiet, its close on the heels of the day."
