“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.

The legislation needs 60 votes to secure passage in the chamber, where Republicans control 53 seats.
Shutdown ahoy

Oh! And healthcare costs! Because they totally didn’t bitch out on that just to completely ignore it this time around.
Right, guys? Right?!
