The reality troubling many native British people is this, a society can't abort a third of its future generation and expect to remain intact.

Alex Honnold has made history again.

Well, predictably, this incident is having a ripple effect across Washington.

And one of the biggest is that Senate Democrats are now saying that they will no longer support a budget deal that had already been passed by the House because it includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement released Saturday, and I'll just quote it in full, 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.

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

And then you're hearing similar things from Dems like Mark Warner of Virginia and even Patty Murray of Washington, who was the one who negotiated this funding package.

They say that they will not pass it if it includes that additional funding for DHS.

And while Republicans control the Senate, they only have 53 seats and will need 60 votes to get that budget passed.

So polymarket is now putting the odds of a government shutdown at 80%.

So that's in Washington.

What about the political leaders in Minnesota?

No, actually, I would say just the opposite.

Daily Wire political reporter Cameron Arcand has been closely covering the situation for us over the weekend.

And he points out that Walls used extremely loaded terms in his response.

Walls called ICE deployment in the city a quote unquote occupation.

And to Cameron's point there, Walz also held a press conference shortly after news of the shooting broke and used that time to denigrate ICE and attack the Trump administration.

The police chief of Minneapolis, Brian O'Hara, seemed to follow his boss's lead there and said on CBS that even if an investigation determines that agents did lawfully shoot Alex Preddy, ICE should still stop its efforts to enforce immigration law in his city.

And then on the other side of the aisle, DHS is out urging Minnesota residents not to interfere with ICE operations.
