Schumer should be too ashamed to leave the house.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
We must not fund ICE. The Constitution gave Congress the power of the purse. Congress must use that power aggressively and fearlessly if our country is to survive.

CNN: Can you at least acknowledge the stories are different- what Tulsi Gabbard said and what Trump said? Can you at least agree there's a discrepancy?

Literally no one wants that. You’re not even demanding a return to 2023 DHS funding levels.
Embarrassing. Only a Senate Democrat could speak with their full chest and alienate 100% of their electorate.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

The problem is that the Democrats STILL WANT TO WORK WITH THEM AND BE BESTIES WITH SAID OATH-VIOLATING COWARDS.

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.
Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.

Schumer and Gillibrand keep voting for absolute shit. I hate them.
Senate Dems split almost down the middle on tonight’s appropriations bill.
Remember, folks: They have never secured a guarantee that a single dollar will be used as appropriated.
Here are those that rightly voted no.

This would seem to effectively expand the category of people ICE can arrest without a warrant to “people not currently under arrest”

In light of a war crime spree in the Caribbean, the kidnapping of a foreign head of state and repeated threats directed at NATO allies, it's semi-curious that there is no real discussion of using Congress' funding leverage to force changes at the Pentagon.

Yes - until you see it firsthand, it’s hard to understand how upsetting and enraging it is to see these guys operate in your community. They are dressed for war, they beat civilians up, they openly antagonize neighbors, they’re masked, they carry people away. Everyone is livid at every scene.
This video clip also demonstrates that Alex Pretti was made very angry by the brutal, lawless violence of the DHS. That makes him just like me, and a large part of America.
Until he was shot 10 times in the back.

As mayor, Eric Adams embraced a secretive, abuse-ridden police unit called the Community Response Team.
One of the unit's leaders, Kaz Daughtry, once pointed a gun at a motorcyclist and threatened to kill him.
