It’s also noteworthy how Trump takes something that’s long been a source of pride for American exceptionalists—Birthright Citizenship—and frames at as a crazy thing only we do.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

I get it, but think about it like this: The entire House loses their position at the end of this term. Elections are run by states. Let’s say red states all cancel the midterms (they can’t). Blue states won’t. Is the GOP just going to accept an entirely blue House of Representatives? 1/2

Secondly, if they somehow did succeed in cancelling midterms, there would be no Congress to approve a budget. Treasury can’t release funds without Congress. Nothing would get paid. We would default on our debt. The global economy would collapse, and the midterms would be the least of our worries.
