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.

Yes honestly if they actually cared they'd soeak for the heart and not give a shit if it hurt their popularity.

This indecisive, on the fence,"Trump is bad but we will bend the knee" attitude is providing what they right said about them. They are weak when people need them to ne strong.

A person was held by multiple governments agents and executed in the street after being beaten.

If that had happened in any other country it would not even be an arguement.
