Lawmakers on Thursday failed to reach a funding agreement for the Department of Homeland Security, setting up a partial government shutdown that would take effect on Friday night at midnight.

Congress has not set any more votes on the matter for this week and is scheduled to leave Washington for the next week.

Some members will travel to the Munich Security Conference. GOP leadership could call members back to DC with notice next week - but it's not clear if there will even be an agreement to vote on.

Senate and White House negotiators also failed to reach common ground on funding plans. Democratic Senators blasted the White House for refusing to agree to 'common sense' reforms to ICE.

Calling successfully defunding DHS a "partial government shutdown" is fascist propaganda.

Our government is fascist, commits war crimes, and protects pedophiles.

Shut it the fuck down.
