With funding for parts of the government set to expire once again, Democrats appear suddenly reluctant to use their leverage to address another issue that is important to their base (and, frankly, a lot of voters outside of it): the money pouring into ICE.
Democrats Appear Ready to Duck a Key Fight on ICE
Top Senate Democrats are focused on other priorities in the government funding fight.

No rational person who cared about Americans as a whole could possibly think we need to give the super-rich a giant bucket of money.
What problem are Republicans solving? The no-7th-yacht problem?

I just have to say it’s interesting that Republicans LOOOOVE showing off their concentration camps when they’re empty
Yet when Congress want to do surprise inspections, guaranteed by the Constitution, they turn into angry little incels and declare the Constitution is no longer valid.

The president is hawking fragrances while the State of Florida is celebrating its first concentration camp by handing out swag.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law.
We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

Hegseth wants to rename the USNS Harvey Milk because it doesn’t fit the “warrior ethos” he’s pushing. He served, was forced out for being gay, and still came back to fight for the country that tried to erase him.

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace.
It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.

LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need.
The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery.
This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.
They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.
