    Can he use some emergency power to fund ICE and other law enforcement during a gov’t shutdown?

      He made ICE considered military, they have like 80 billion to continue burning through even during shutdown

      I don’t think Trump is bothering with legality at this point. I don’t expect he would stop spending in a shutdown, even if legally required.

      This is my fear. The only things that will be shut down are the systems & courts that are currently slowing the march of fascism (somewhat). Of course they’ll find the funds to continue domestic terrorism.
