The “deal” struck with the administration and Senate Republicans to fund the continued operations of the government does not resolve any of the issues we are facing. Journalists are being arrested, civilians murdered and tracked in a DHS database and by any metric, democracy continues to erode. Before one more dollar of taxpayer money flows to this corrupt and murderous regime, so much more should have been demanded, such as: Total withdrawal of ICE stormtroopers from American cities. The unmasking and identification of all agents of the federal government The identification and prosecution of the murderers of Alex Pretti and Renee Good The cessation of attacks in the Caribbean and Pacific The withdrawal of armed forces poised to attack Iran The cessation of and apology for the threats to annex Greenland and Canada The removal of tariffs that are strangling the American consumer. After the achievement of these goals let’s move on to: Removal of Trump’s name from the John F. Kennedy Center The impeachment of Noem and RFK Jr. Undo the bogus name changes of geological features such as the Gulf and Denali The Democratic caucus, while it doesn’t hold the majority does have the ability to throw a wrench into the dictatorial machinations of the Trump regime. You need to do more.
