in response to last week’s killing by federal agents in Minneapolis. Incredibly, the senator himself has not yet said anything publicly or issued any statements.

I left our bald ogre senator a voicemail. Saturday, yesterday and today when I call I am just going to read out his wife's tweet like 4 or 5 times.
Tell Fetterman to Block Cloture & Say NO to the DHS Funding Bill which funds ICE!
The vote may be Tuesday or later this week. We'll be at his office at noon every day this week until the vote happens. Schumer says he wants NO - Let's make Fetterman

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.
