continually overwhelmed by how brave and good these people are and the way that they talk about Minnesota values and American values and living by the credos that all of these uber-Christians are supposed to, like helping your neighbor and taking in the tired and the sick and the poor.

They have mobilized

So quickly considering this, I mean, the amount of organizations that are working on the ground, the amount of individual citizens that are doing things like running makeshift food pantries and making sure that people who are hiding in their homes or homes of American citizens can get the things that they need.

I was talking to someone who's doing this, the orders for diapers and children's medicine through the roof.

It's freezing cold there, right?

Their kids are getting sick, just like my kids are getting sick here, and they can't come out of their houses.

And their neighbors are all stepping up for them.

And I think that their example is one for the ages.

And so that is a way to get accountability.

There's Greg Bovino out, Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski getting, you know, a big talking to by the president.

I...

agree with you from what you said yesterday on our rapid response video that Kristi Noem will not be long for that job, but...

when the legislators are sitting there in Washington looking at what their options are, besides supporting the people of Minneapolis and wherever ICE may go next, this shutdown is the biggest way that they can push for accountability.

And I think that it is very smart strategy.

So what they want to do to be a little bit boring is they want to take the minibus spending bill that already exists and chop it up into five or six pieces so that the DHS section can be carved out

I want to note that for people that are saying, like, you know, we're going to defund ICE or abolish ICE, ICE is already funded at 87% higher level than it was the year before, even if this $10 billion doesn't go through.

That's the amount of money that's in question here.

But I think that it is definitely worth continuing to push Senator Thune on it.

And the Democrats are asking for five big things in their kind of reform package.

That DHS must cooperate with state probes.
