People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.
People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

What’s a quote people often cut short that makes you grind your teeth?
For me, one is “The customer is always right IN MATTERS OF TASTE.”
It’s about giving the customer Tabasco to put on their Cheerios if they ask for it, not putting up with any sort of demanding abuse.
At the library, no less.

Some people take Mathew 25:35-45 to heart and live their faith every day.
He’s so good at this
“Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.”

The killings in Minnesota and ICE terrorizing American cities wouldn’t be possible without the acquiescence of John Thune, Mike Johnson, and the rest of the GOP.
Everyone, especially the media, has to stop letting them off the hook.

The GOP has a choice: use their power to force change or own the chaos and the killings.

Thread. Keep the pressure on, keep focus. End I c e, release the #EpsteinFiles, article 25, prosecute the criminals.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

We can celebrate Trump throwing Bovino under the bus while keeping the pressure on. Throw Noem under the boss, too. And Miller. Vance. Trump. Musk. The bus hungers. The bus will know justice. (Not a literal bus. A metaphor bus. The metaphor bus hungers.)

Here’s a really tense ICE situation in front of my home. One car looped a block 25 times until two reinforcement cars showed up and led me home. Was pretty scary because I was solo - BUT I knew I had backup from thousands of courageous neighbors and observers. Strength in numbers.

The situation is so bad that in any Marvel or DC movie, one or more heroes would have shown up and taken care of Trump and his administration. But this is reality. No caped hero is coming to save the day. It's up to the people to fix this.
