The American Prospect reported that several Democrats in closely contested districts would be voting for the ICE appropriation. “They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement,” an unnamed source told the liberal magazine. “They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

    “HOUSE DEMS XYZ”

    Look inside

    1% of dems vote for policy

    sigh

    Can someone better at math than OP explain to the class how many votes are needed in the house to have a majority, and compare that to the seats held by Republicans?

      I get that, for some baffling reason, you’re defending Democrats, but their other option is to reject funding and cause another government shutdown. That could be combined with the current general strike (by extending it past the Jan 30 deadline to get the government funded) to bring the whole country to a complete halt unless ICE gets the fuck out, Trump and Noem impeached / locked up, or whatever other demands the people have of their government. This would be a fantastic use of political power to enable democratic expression and improve the lives of millions of people! That being said, there’s no way the Democrats will do that. Instead, they support the Republican efforts.

    I can’t wait to vote against Eric Sorensen in the primary. That guy is a real chode and has betrayed the common man at every turn.

    This sounds like a great opportunity for David Hogg to enter the conversation again, supporting primarying these fuckers.

      Oh man I don’t think we can take another Jeffries temper tantrum about how people are making it so difficult for him to just do nothing but look professional.

      Democrats, only want to do anything when its easy and doesnt distract from profiting.

    Democrats are so fucking stupid:

    1. ICE is no longer law enforcement (if it ever was). They are Trumps roving gang of thugs laying siege to American cities. We don’t get to exist as a free society if ICE continues to exist.
    2. Don’t fucking talk about cost of living when you tried to gaslight us that everything was fine under Biden in 2024 AND tried to bury Mamdani last fall.

    Democrat’s spines, already known to be weak, now appear to be nothing but jello.
