In reply to the discussion: This Funding Bill is Pointless [View all]flashman13
(2,189 posts)What they are currently doing isn't it. So reform it. That's what must be done, but it's not something that can be done on the fly in the middle of another funding crisis.
Here is what can be done. Make some sensible demands and shut the entire government down until those demands are met. Trump wants to govern by extortion. Democrats can play that game.
What demands?
Obviously not a another dime for ICE and DHS as a whole.
Withdraw ICE etc. from every occupied city and state immediately.
Immediately terminate all ICE agents that have been hired since The Big Steaming Pile Bill was passed.
A joint investigation of the Good and Pretti murders by Minnesota officials and a Special Senate Investigation Committee with the best legal minds available. It should be similar to the J6 Committee.
The resignation of Noem, Bondi, Homan, Patel, and Miller.
And a three year extension of all ACA programs and benefits.
Feel free to add more.
That's a meaningful effort I can stand behind.
