MODERATORS
 

Seven House Democrats voted in favor of a $64.4 billion bill to advance a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spending measure that includes about $10 billion for ICE. The votes came during a markup of the DHS appropriations bill, with Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky casting the lone Republican vote against the funding, which passed 220-207 and will fund ICE and FEMA through September 30.

The seven Democrats who voted alongside the majority of Republicans to push forward the bill are Representatives

  • Tom Suozzi (New York),
  • Henry Cuellar (Texas),
  • Don Davis (North Carolina),
  • Laura Gillen (New York),
  • Jared Golden (Maine),
  • Vicente Gonzalez (Texas),
  • Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington).

Wait - so 7 of 212 Democrats voted for this abhorrence and “Democrats” voted to fund ICE?

There’s only a few here, we could primary them much easier than 212.

Very closely related phenomena to rotating villain. The party knows its unpopular, so they will have a minority "defect" to make it happen, even thought the leadership, like Jefferies and Schumer are still calling for expansions of ICE funding directly.

I couldn’t find a “calling for expansion of ICE” article on either of them but then just the waffly “there need to be serious reforms in theway that..” bullshit is infuriating enough. Goddamn.
