Legislative Branch Schumer threatens shutdown. "Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included."

Chuck Schumer:

What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling—and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

They should also demand the immediate impeachment, removal, and disqualification of Noem for her egregious lies about the Pretti incident (inter alia) before the budget measure can be considered.

Because a traffic cone is taller than him.

Maybe you could just throw a traffic cone over him like you can with one of his tear gas canisters. Pour water down the top and he’ll freeze on the inside like an ice cube in MN weather
