That's why ICE was able to go right on terrorizing our communities during the last government shutdown

and frankly we have no cards to play in a shutdown fight after the handful of Dems in the Senate last year betrayed the caucus and caved to drumpf. There is no way in hell the GOP will offer us so much as a shit sandwich now that they know they can just wait us out.

They should just fund the government for the next year and let a hopefully Dem congress take up the night next Jan.
