Nope. Congress needs to act and oppose.

Opposition to President Trump’s policies abroad and at home has followed the U.S. Olympic team to Italy, forcing athletes, coaches and American fans to respond to — or sidestep — the backlash. trib.al/sKjBCfN

This is not only brazenly corrupt. It is sick, twisted and egomaniacal. The time is long overdue for sane Republicans to stand up to Trump.
Every American needs to watch this:

Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations.
He’s betting we forget in two years.
In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.

Corruption, plain and simple.
Steve Witkoff, David Sacks, and Howard Lutnick must testify in front of Congress.
And Congress needs to grow a spine and put a stop to Trump’s crypto corruption.

“… to let this episode slide—to allow it to be overtaken by the next outrage and the one to follow—would be to accept that no accountability is ever imposed on anyone in Trump’s orbit.“

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.

Otherwise, individual efforts are lost to distracting "shiny object" issue.

Agreed. What a complete game! Efficient, high tempo offense. Oppressive, synchronized defense. Shanahan and Saleh looked flustered.
If injury bug can stay away, such bodes well for future success.
Looking forward to your next episode.

Otherwise, single issue coverage gets bumped with each new crisis.
Connect the dots and make the case for unified change.
