Democrats in Congress erupted in fury Saturday after federal agents fatally shot a man in Minneapolis, with some calling to deploy the National Guard and partially shut down the government in response. Why it matters: Democrats are growing ever more strident in their criticism of ICE, Customs and Border Patrol and other immigration authorities as the Trump administration has used the agencies to swarm cities across the country. All but six of the House’s 213 Democrats voted this week against a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security over concerns about a lack of constraints on ICE and CBP agents. The bill passed the House but needs support from at least seven Senate Democrats, who are now under more pressure than ever to block it. “The Senate should reject the DHS funding bill next week until significant reforms are added to the bill. We need a complete overhaul,” Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.) said in a post on X.

      Idk about the others but old Angus just won reelection so he has like five years left in his term, and by then he’ll be around 107 years old so I don’t think he really gives af

      His kid is trying to run for governor though so call him up and ask if being a coward runs in the family

      Good job, Turncoats! You fed them money, and they thanked you by murdering an American citizen.

      Every one of these MAGAs should be completely ignored by the DNC, and vigorously primaried. If they manage to get reelected, they get fully sidelined, no committees, no appearances on talk shows, no TV sound bites, nothing. They will be invisible, except for their votes, which better be NO on all MAGA legislation and appointments.
