The rest of us are watching, because it's Trek, but it's for teens. So dorm hijinks, & sneaking around, & so. many. hormones.

Indeed. Senate Dems don't even need to say "abolish ICE." They can do their obnoxious "we need to investigate this, come up with reforms" or whatever.
But there is no good reason to rush to whatever compromise the GOP will accept. Dems have the advantage. Use it. Let the GOP stew in their problems.

the first best Senate ask is to split the DHS funding from the rest of the minibus.
It wrongfoots Republicans, it unites the D caucus, and it becomes more compelling rather than less compelling the longer Rs resist it. plus all the minibus components were negotiated separately anyway

A good measure of how crazy things have gotten is if you pretend we’re in a Star Wars movie and then imagine how long the opening crawl would have to be for an audience of people from 4 weeks ago to be caught up

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has been a fun distraction, the last few days. I'm still in areas I got through early last year before I got stuck, so it's been fairly easy. But I have done things a little bit differently party wise. Going well so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

MAGA is the Borg. "Resistance is futile?" huh? We'll see about that!
The Trumpist strategy, to the extent there is one, is centered around an assertion of absolute power. They want to convince people that resistance is futile.
A crucial part of the struggle against encroaching authoritarianism is to reject such notions. Don’t acquiesce. Make them earn it.
