This. They must go. Removing them must become a top Congressional priority or the deaths they cause will be on the hands of every member of Congress...and lest they think there be no consequences, those deaths will be mounting up by the time of next year's election.

JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."
