There’s a massive funding package making its way through Congress this week. It includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol, and must pass by Friday for the government to remain fully open. But that’s looking less and less likely. After the killing of Alex Pretti, Senate Democrats and their allies are saying that they are willing to risk a government shutdown to get policy changes. To talk more about Homeland Security, a potential shutdown, and what Democrats in Congress can do to stop ICE, we spoke with Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin. Later in the show, we talk to Monica Byron, president of Education Minnesota, about how educators are dealing with the surge in ICE activity.   And in headlines, U.S. warships arrived in the Middle East on Monday and Iran is warning of all-out war, Israel recovers the remains of the last hostage in Gaza, and Goodwill stores are breaking revenue records.   Show Notes:   Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  • the show that is noting that everyone seems to really hate Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for being a terrible person who has batted her job.

  • And I, for one, think that's awesome.

  • On today's show, US warships arrive in the Middle East as tension simmer with Iran.

  • And goodwill is in an all-time high.

  • Not the sentiment, of course, but rather the popular chain of thrift stores.

  • But let's start with Congress and the Department of Homeland Security.

  • It's not often that the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal,

  • the Washington Post, and the New York Post all agree on something.

  • But that's what happened after Border Patrol agents fatally shot 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretty in Minneapolis on Saturday.

  • All four publications, with four different ideological priorities, all agree.

  • The Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement,

  • and Border Patrol have all gone too fucking far.

  • And it appears Americans feel the same way.

  • Here's CNN's poll analyst, Harry Anton on Monday.

  • What's going on in Minneapolis is not popular at all.

  • What's been going on during this second term, under ICE, under the Trump administration,

  • under Cousin Home, has very much not been popular, and it's only be getting more and more unpopular.

  • If you're wondering if this is reaching folks in the GOP,
