I think it's a pretty clear message that like, yeah, you know why I voted no?
I voted no because I don't think ICE, which we're going to talk about the New York Times poll, has a 35% approval rating.
I don't think that fucking ICE should get 28 and Kristi Noem should get 28 billion more dollars.
When everyone's healthcare premiums are going up and costs are up and ICE is rampaging through communities, breaking the law, breaking down doors in violation of the Fourth Amendment, arresting people?
They're using your tax dollars to barge down the doors of your fellow Americans and like dragging them out into the street and sending five-year-olds to detention camps.
Christine Ohm works for us.
Well, theoretically, that's true.
But that's why you say like, no, I'm not going to fucking fund that.
And I look, I, you know, the government funding debate and the shutdown stuff, it drives me a little crazy because it's part of what I think our side sometimes believes is that we have leverage and we don't have leverage because Republicans aren't going to change their behavior.
And they have proven that they have proven that like this is the most important priority for them and they're going to find the money anywhere to keep doing it.
um so i don't think you know i think some of us even went into the health care shutdown thinking like oh maybe they'll change their mind and pass an extension of obamacare subsidies they did not i don't think they would have if we kept the government shut down they're not now they just don't want to do it certainly on at least they were considering it on aca at least in the last couple weeks post shutdown they would never back off on this never but the question is like
You know, this is a bigger issue now, but if we now have paramilitary squads rampaging through the country and they're in Minneapolis now, they've been in other cities, it's not getting better, it's getting worse, it's not slowing down, it's speeding up.
