The latest from Washington D.C. is that Senator Chuck Schumer prefers a shutdown rather than continue funding ICE. Here is the story:
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Saturday that Democrats will not put up the necessary votes to advance a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of immigration agents shooting and killing a man in Minneapolis on Saturday.
"What's happening in Minnesota is appalling -- and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans' refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE," Schumer said in a statement. "I will vote no. Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included."
Really, Chuck? You want to shut down the government over ICE funding? Senator Schumer must be really scared of an AOC challenge in the next New York Senate race or totally misreading what the voters are really saying about immigration enforcement.
Yes, it's terrible that there are two dead in Minneapolis. ICE did not go into Minneapolis to kill a nurse or a mom. They are there to look for criminals and do not enjoy the local cooperation that they got in Memphis, New Orleans, or Texas. Instead, they have to look for criminals and fight interference from misguided citizens indoctrinated by demagogic politicians named Walz and Frey.
Senator Schumer may also be misreading these polls. What are voters really saying? Maybe the Senator should check what David Catron is saying:
The fact remains that President Trump was elected in significant part to secure the border and deport illegals. An overwhelming majority of the public still supports his immigration policies, including removing those who have violated our laws and have no right to be here.
No right to be here. That's what the public believes even if those images of dead citizens are on TV. My guess is that most Americans don't believe that protesters should interfere with police activities by using your car or carrying a gun.
Unfortunately, the Democrats are once again doubling down on making AOC happy. Such an approach will stop primary challenges but create problems when everybody else votes.

We remember Paul Newman (1925-2008)
He became one of the top movie stars of the 20th century, from "Somebody Up There Likes Me" (1956) to "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' (1958) to "Exodus" (1960) to "The Hustler" (1961) to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) to "The sting" (1974).
It was a long and successful career. Newman died in 2008.

Happy # 65 Wayne Gretzky
We say happy birthday to Wayne Gretzky, a.k.a. The Great One! He was born in Canada on this day in 1961.
In the late 1970's, it was Gretzky's success with the Oilers that got me interested in hockey.

We remember Bob Uecker (1934-2025)
We remember Bob Uecker who was born in Milwaukee on this day in 1934. He died in 2025.Once upon a time, Bob Uecker played baseball. My guess is that most of us remember him as the radio voice of the Milwaukee Brewers and one of those funny baseball movies.
As a major league catcher (1962-67), Uecker hit .200 in 297 games (217 starts), 146 hits, 14 HR and 74 RBI. He played with Milwaukee and then backed Tim McCarver in the 1964 World Series.
In 1971, he came home to be the radio & TV voice of the Brewers.

We remember Cesar Gutierrez (1943-2005)
Cesar Gutierrez was born in Venezuela on this day in 1943. He died in 2005.
He hit .235 over 223 games. His best season was 1970 when he played in 135 games with Detroit.
We remember him for going 7-for-7 in a 12-inning game in 1970. He had 128 career hits but 7 in the aforementioned game.
His contract was purchased by the Expos but did not play in 1972.
Cesar's big day earned him a place in baseball history books.
