Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (one of 7 Democrats who just voted to fund DHS) defends her stance.
Argues funding for ICE "is not the question." Instead, Senate Democrats have leverage for various demands.
"I think they could negotiate to replace Noem with someone that doesn't skirt the filibuster."

This really starts to get into “if Schumer was actively trying to subvert the Dems, what would he be doing differently?” territory
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

It was Christmas Eve right after that movie came out. I was at a bar in a small town. Some assholes filled the jukebox with money and played that song at least 10x in a row and sang along every time. A total nightmare.
