Restore Customs and the Secret Service to the Treasury.
Restore TSA and the Coast Guard to the Dept. of Transportation.
Restore FEMA to its original independent status - hell, make it a whole Department, we're going to need it.
Restore all the small random agencies to Justice.
Be done with it.

The new voter suppression bill—called the "Save America Act"—would require 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates to register to vote.
Most don't have these documents. This is a poll tax by another name.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

But guys, if we shut down the Department of Homeland Security that also means shutting down the roaming terror squads AND airport security theater AND the orphan-grinding machine. Did you think about any of that? Did you?
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

Seriously, just dissolve the federal government and return power to the states until we can decide on a new system. I'm not interested in paying taxes so that a bunch of pedophiles can kick down my door and murder me in the street.
