A pause in ICE funding and the Melania film S5E15 02.06.2026

Do you have a question or comment? Want to suggest a topic for our panel or be a guest on the Nova Society? Send us a message!Today, our questions come from Brian from Johnson City, Tennessee, who writes the government shut down once again for a few days, all because of Democrats' demands, which accomplished nothing. Still, there is no health care premium relief, and Republicans are just incapable of governing as they try to please Trump. But now ICE's funding will come up again in 2 weeks, which leads me to believe someone sees that this paramilitary group is a danger to society. What do you guys think will happen in 2 weeks? Might this be the end of ICE as we know it? What do you see should be the Democrats' strategy entering these negotiations? And from Tammy from Flagstaff, Arizona writes, Melania came out last week and wasn’t all that Trump had hoped for. But it’s being reported that it brought in $7 million, which I guess is good for a film of this type. Did anyone on the panel see it? Do you guys see this as just another distraction or just another grift?  Melania made $28 million for this crap. LOTL: Queer ConversationWe all crave Queer Conversations.
