1. Democrats need to up their demands
Wed Feb 4, 2026, 07:15 AM
Feb 4

1. The Good/Pretti killings must be allowed to be investigated by local and state police, and all evidence the Fed has collected must be made available to local and state police. This is how it is supposed to work anyway.

2. No masks, all uniforms must identify who the wearer is affiliated with, a uniform that states POLICE is not good enough.

3. Court approved warrants must be used before the Gestapo can enter a private residence.

There are many more requests too numerous to list here, but this is enough to make my point.

Unless those demands are met no Senate or House Democrat will vote to fund DHS. ON February 13 the funding for DHS expires.

Democrats you have your hill to die on, you have the messaging, the reasons to make DHS funding conditional, you won't be blamed for the partial shutdown, all you need is to stay unified and speak with a unified message.
