Kristi Noem is a liar.
She's vicious.
She's also incompetent.
Donald Trump must fire her at once before another American is killed under her watch.
Senate Democrats say there is no way whatsoever that they're going to vote for a DHS funding bill unless it reforms ICE.
That DHS bill is tied to five other funding bills.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Sunday that Senate Democrats will not allow that DHS bill to move forward.
He wants it stripped away from the other five bills, saying in part, quote, Senate Republicans must work with Democrats to advance the other five funding bills while we work to rewrite the DHS bill.
This is the best course of action, and the American people are on our side.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer vowed to block a massive funding package next week unless Republicans agree to strip funding for the Department of Homeland Security, dramatically increasing the risk for a partial U.S.
government shutdown.
Schumer's announcement came on the same day that a Border Patrol agent shot and killed an American intensive care unit nurse in Minnesota during protests over the immigration crackdown in that state.
Democratic opposition to the funding package potentially affects not just Homeland Security, but also the Departments of Defense, Labor, Education, State, Treasury, and Health and Human Services.

How does that look?
