Democrats have voted time and time again to fund TSA and every other aspect of DHS aside from ICE. Republicans have refused.

Just FUND TSA Not ICE

You get there 5 hours early
And
ICE WILL HARASS YOU

Jake Sherman @JakeSherman 🚨NEWS: SENATE MAJORITY LEADER JOHN THUNE spoke to President DONALD TRUMP Sunday and offered to fund DHS -- without ICE. THUNE said he'd fund ICE in a reconciliation package. TRUMP rejected the offer. Said he wants Rs fighting Dems over DHS funding, SAVE Act. Some Senate Rs and WH beginning to diverge as DHS shutdown nears 40 days. https://punchbowl.news/archive/32326-am/ @bresreports @LauraEWeiss16 @sn_handler and me From punchbowl.news 6:39 AM · Mar 23, 2026 · 826.5K Views

Thune wants to fund TSA and leave ICE for later. Trump says no. Trump now owns this mess.

TSA = Trump Slows Airports

ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now

Apparently, from the start of food stamps (which are now called Snap benefits) until now, adults were able to figure out what to buy and it was fine but all of a sudden, adults can't be trusted.

Scott Bessent tried to justify Trump handing $14 billion to Iran by easing sanctions. Instead of solid arguments, he served up an incoherent verbal stew, a perfect example of politics where logic drowns in absurdity and arrogance.

How Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Vaccine Agenda Risks a Resurgence of Deadly Childhood Plagues The health secretary is spreading doubts about vaccine safety and considering changes that could prompt manufacturers to flee the U.S. market. History has shown how plagues from the past can roar back...

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners.

Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

The Tate brothers, who have been accused of sexual misconduct in three countries, had their devices seized by law enforcement when they arrived in the U.S.

Days later, a White House official told DHS to return them.

Side-by-side image of Ruby Bridges. On the right, a recent color photo shows her smiling, wearing a black off-the-shoulder top and a large cross necklace against a green backdrop. On the left, a historic black-and-white photo shows Ruby as a young girl in a dress walking down school steps escorted by federal marshals during school integration. A dark band across the bottom contains the quote: “Racism is a grown-up disease and we must stop using our children to spread it.” -Ruby Bridges.

Ruby Bridges walked into history at six.
Adults chose hate. She chose courage.

Racism was never about children.
It was always about adults who refused to change.

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.”

You and what army?

No, really, Matt: if you want to deport and jail all my neighbors, you’re going to need an army.

We’re in the real world now bucko. This isn’t internet land where you declare something and it becomes true. You need actual dudes. So where’s your army?

Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

A Republican-led Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen, who never voted.

The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.

Bondi’s ‘blackmail’ letter to Minnesota deepens concerns over DOJ’s voter roll motives, federal judge says The judge reiterated the DOJ's case against Oregon will be dismissed entirely.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon said Pam Bondi’s “blackmail” letter to Minnesota is raising questions about the DOJ’s voter roll campaign — fueling concerns that it’s being used as political leverage rather than election oversight.

And none of us are shocked 🙄😞

Federal agents are heavily deploying chemical irritants. What are the health consequences? Munitions experts say ingredients can vary and can be considered proprietary.

In order to identify HC tear gas, there are three characteristics, according to an expert:

• An intense orange-colored, metallic fire coming from the canister as it’s burning.
• Fire that emits sparks and burns considerably hotter and longer than other grenades.
• A white, gray or black smoke.

Nurses union calls ICE agents a “public health threat” after Alex Pretti killing Colleagues remembered Pretti as a kind and dedicated ICU nurse at the VA.

“Make no mistake, the terror we are experiencing is being subsidized by our own government. Nurses, know that our vision for a healthy society is possible and we will not stop fighting until it is a reality.”

Donald Trump will need a police state to implement his agenda It's going to get very ugly.

As soon as Trump was elected, @davidcorn.bsky.social warned us that he would need a police state to turn his authoritarian dreams into a reality.

With the occupation of DC and threats to invade other US cities, we're seeing Corn's predictions come true in real time.

ICE claims officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza.

“A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said.

Dems - we need investigations into ICE & the practices implemented by the puppy killer. Masked, warrantless abductions must stop!! NOW!!

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van?

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Millions of people took part in protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk across all 50 states and globally on Saturday: cnn.it/4hYKFL3

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist.

Well, I am. We are. We will.

Trumpism Isn’t Working As a checked-out president sits back and lets Elon Musk shred the civil service, the signs of economic calamity are growing—and Americans of all stripes are getting pissed off.

Everywhere you look, Americans are getting anxious.

People are less convinced they can travel by air safely. Consumer confidence is nose-diving. Republicans are facing torrents of angry voters at their own town halls.
