Republicans are flailing after being forced to defend the indefensible: Continued funding for a lawless DHS. We’re glad Democrats are finally waking up to this reality, but the bill that just passed the Senate is not a solution. 🧵
Senate passes bill to resolve shutdown clash, punting on DHS for two weeks
The House is not in Washington and plans to vote when it returns Monday. That means a government shutdown this weekend, which will have little impact if it remains brief.

Had to block my first account today… even though I am frustrated, angry, and disgusted. At times feel very hopeless about the federal government I will not accept that there is nothing that can be done by the Congress.

How revolting and disgusting to state that the killing of two US citizens by ICE as "Mistakes happen". How can any Democratic member of Congress accept dealing with such disgusting and amoral Republican peer? How can his constituents accept such an individual to support them in Congress?

What will it take for our federal government to understand this? A reduction in funding or “new” laws will mean nothing to ICE.
I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

The entire federal government of the US is either presenting as insane or fickle to the EU and the rest of the world.
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

How can ordinary citizens deal with the criminal ICE behaviors when the police can’t even… so disgusting so insane. I guess whoever has the most people and biggest guns rule.
"The question that you're basically asking is, can our cops arrest them? From a legal perspective, yes. From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do." That's where we're at.

📌It's one thing how absolutely obvious it is we are in the middle of yet another cover-up by Trump's DOJ with the Epstein Files.
But it's quite another that this cover-up has to do with CHILD RAPE, and how damn little Trump's GOP is interested in getting to the bottom of it.
They are grotesque.
