He's saying it out loud, and has repeatedly:
He's pressuring MAGA-GOP to end voting rights, trans rights, human rights, civil rights, every right via ending the filibuster.
This has zero to do with the shutdown.

Trump: "Here's some of the things we'd pass if we terminated the filibuster. Voter ID, no mail in voting, no cash bail, no men in women's sports, no welfare for illegals. You could go on and on."

A certain legacy-media editorial board recommended capitulation in the face of Trump’s invasion, but on the South Side, we believe Chicagoans should keep standing up for one another.
Let us be clear: The President of the United States is levying war against American cities and American citizens—and we cannot rely on the other branches of government to save us.
It’s up to us.
It’s up to us.
It’s Up to Us to Protect One Another
As Trump sends troops to Chicago, we will continue to investigate and report. Readers have a role to play, too.

When I talked to bystanders they said agents accused Brockman of “obstruction,” which sure sounds a lot different than this DHS claim
UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.
A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

The way he doesn’t give a single shit made me lol. Every American is supposed to be having moments of silence before every meal while Trump himself is like “who?"
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.
Friendly reminder:
Due process is how we can be sure the people Miller and his henchmen are removing are legally subject to removal in the first place.
