Not that simple Dementia 47 already declared a National Security Emergency essential for the safety of the country. This has allowed him to let ICE lose unchecked. Same dumb ass excuse he used to militarize LA and DC. Govt funding continues for emergencies.
None the less, a government shutdown is the only lever dems have left. A strategy they must pursue, incl. the leadership showdown among senate dems it will require to get there. We need our progressive caucus to pressure the centrist, institutionalist old guard (Schumer, Durbin, Klobuchar, Booker)
