“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 Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement Saturday. “Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.”

The legislation needs 60 votes to secure passage in the chamber, where Republicans control 53 seats.

Shutdown ahoy

Don't threaten to do it, just fucking do it. Fucking grind this imperialist monster machine to a fucking halt.

[–] PointlessProtestAgainstTheMachine@lemmy.org 15 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

They won’t. It’s the same party.

Yeah I know, I'm just screaming at the wind 😮‍💨

Don’t worry so are we all, it seems.

Well the wind and my folks 🫩

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 15 hours ago

Ugh, I’m so sorry. It’s so difficult when family are the ones who are also ….. well.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

God we have the most ineffective liberals... Utterly useless shitheels. At least I know it makes no difference if I vote for them or not, so I won't vote for them ever again. Establishment Dems may as well be the traitor Republicans.

How in the fuck are you going to lose voters during a Trump presidency?

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 22 points 16 hours ago

And if ANOTHER person gets Assassinated by the Government we'll THREATEN it AGAIN!

They've already voted to pass funding for military, which was huge. They've already voted to fund ICE.

They're going to fund this. Democrats have failed.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Failed the people. They seem to be working towards some other end. One that leaves people dead and defenseless in the street.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 8 points 14 hours ago

And when it comes time, suddenly it will be the same democrats who aren't up for reelection or who are cashing out who will defy the party and vote for it. All to protect the rest of them.

[–] Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip 19 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Oh boy those hands must be so thoroughly rung! I hope they write a strongly worded letter too!

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

All the pearls are probably going to leave impressions in their hands.

DACO? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Die for you country and your representatives only threaten to block funding for the very organization that killed you.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

They’re doing what their donors pay them to do. Spoiler they don’t actually represent us they represent Israel and the oligarchs

[–] Prox@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I'm sure they'll stick to their guns on this one. For real this time.

Oh! And healthcare costs! Because they totally didn't bitch out on that just to completely ignore it this time around.

Right, guys? Right?!
