Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker
Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

Of course, as the lawyer for GEO reminded the Justices, this is about a very real-world issue; the fact that lawyers have been successful in throwing sand in the deportation machine's gears is bad for their profit and thus bad for ICE.
The merits of one of those cases may go to the Court next year.

Listen, think what you want about Hakeem Jeffries. I know I’ve had my fair share of disagreements.
But even after Schumer caved and betrayed all of us, Hakeem is whipping votes on the House floor to try and block this shitty deal and protect Americans’ healthcare. That’s worth a lot.
