The Democrats in Congress moving to, on the Senate side,

Even Democratic senators who have sided with Republicans in the past, who have voted to fund the Trump administration when other Democrats didn't want to do that, even those Democratic senators, basically all the so-called moderates, the conservative Democrats, they came out and said they will not vote to fund the Department of Homeland Security and ICE.

And that is a vote that has to happen this week.

Democrats saying they are not going to do it even if they have done it before.

In the House, the number of members of Congress who are signing up to an effort there to impeach Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security Secretary, that races up to well over, look at that, 140 co-sponsors.

I was going to say over 100 now.

It's now at 140 co-sponsors of the resolution to impeach Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary.

And last week, there were a handful of House Democrats who did vote to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

Those handful of House Democrats who voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security last week have this week started apologizing for it.

Democrat Tom Suozzi in New York, quote, I failed to view the Homeland Security funding vote as a referendum on the illegal and immoral conduct of ICE in Minneapolis.

I hear the anger from many of my constituents, and I take responsibility for that.

I have long been critical of ICE's unlawful behavior, and I must do a better job demonstrating that.

Some Democrats changing their previous position to say now they will not vote to fund ICE, and some Democrats who already voted to fund ICE saying, oh wow, that was wrong, I'm so sorry.

I didn't get it.

I'll do better.

This is called political change.

And even in the sinkhole of sniveling cowardice that has been America's business so-called leaders,

Even there, they're starting to ever so tentatively squeak that maybe, possibly, if nobody minds, they might want to express that they're mildly uncomfortable with what Trump and the Trump administration are doing.

chief executives of Target, Best Buy, General Mills, Cargill, Land O'Lakes, Hormel, U.S.

Bancorp, The Mayo Clinic, 3M, and dozens of other large Minnesota employers issued a public letter Sunday calling for, quote, an immediate de-escalation.
