Democrats are right to deny funding for DHS absent changes that stop this lawlessness and inhumanity. Changes that Americans are demanding.
Let's talk for a second about what has to change - immediately. And why it's so important that we demand these reforms.

I do not just throw out praise for Senate Dem leadership, but this is good. It’s what we need now - Dems using their leverage where they’ve got it and refusing to budge. Make GOP own this lawless goon squad. No Dem votes for it. Support Dems who are fighting back now regardless of past beefs.
Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

What a good man Gov Walz is.
Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Jared Golden sees what ICE is doing to Minneapolis and welcomes the same to his district. I expect that from Republicans. But it's Dems like this that wreck the Party brand and make it harder for us to win. Thankfully he understands his limitations and is throwing himself out of politics.
