DURec leftstreet Jan 2026 #1

Demand a federal law reigning in ICE before any negotiations can happen. SSJVegeta Jan 2026 #2

Demand mr715 Jan 2026 #4

Perhaps even add 3 sets of 8 count pushups, 5 burpees -and a cerificate in accounting to the list. SSJVegeta Jan 2026 #7

And of course mr715 Jan 2026 #8

We can dream SSJVegeta Jan 2026 #9

A shutdown may not defund ICE... maspaha Jan 2026 #14

I'm not sure how forcing federal employees to work without pay for weeks or months is courageous. tritsofme Jan 2026 #38

No one said 'want.' I believe it is about forcing them to do so by opposing every single little thing they try. PatrickforB Jan 2026 #15
