DHS spending bill passed 220-207 7 Democrats voted in favor: Henry Cuellar Don Davis Laura Gilles Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Jared Golden Vicente Gonzalez Tom Suozzi Massie voted No Andy Harris didn't vote Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so

Strange to see democrats voting in favour of having women murdered, children kidnapped, and citizens dragged from their homes almost naked in winter. Gives voters a great choice to know their values equal that of the GOP.

They are the equivalent of Cuban republicans. They are terrified of not being seen as American. Everyone at the bottom wants someone to look down upon.

You know, if you're gonna pay taxes, you should at least make sure you have a Schutzstaffel arresting your neighbors, pushing your wife to the ground, stealing a 5yo's parents and shooting people in the face.

Every sitting elected official should be investigated for large money donors! These Dems are perfect examples of failed elected officials! They will be held accountable too! We don’t just have a single party issue! Traitors! #WeAreAmericansNotAParty #removePoliticalPartiesNow

When U vote yes 2 torture murder rape kidnappings U R a f*cking monster. From now on that's how I'll address them F*KING MONSTERS. Jefferies being the weak leader he is couldn't get his members 2 say no so he's a monster as well.

WTF? Is there an opposition party? Do democrats expect to win simply because Trump will self immolate? Do democrats stand for something or are they there just to fill seats? Can Pelosi explain this? I trust her judgement.

Hmmm, seems the Blue Crew has a new side project. Clearly, some Democrats need a reminder of which side they should be standing, otherwise they may as well just cross the damn aisle.🤔

One would think that they should offer, if not be required to justify how they vote on something to the people that elected them, or in this case to the entire country. If putin has pee tapes on each of them, they should just come right out and admit it.

I get so mad at these Democrats who just don't get it, like Cuellar (and John Fetterman). But I should talk. I have Grassley and Ernst for senators, and Ashley Hinson is the rep for my district. Argh.

Yeah, they're token opposition bought out by the right. It's why they throw fights and don't adapt to purple or red states, and push unpopular woke stuff that ensures they'll lose. if Democrats really wanted to win, they'd have pro-life Democrats, anti-immigration Democrats, etc.

At the rate we're going, it's going to get a lot fucking worse before the people rise up. Hell, our supposed Representatives just gave them more money.

Exactly! Nancy Pelosi must be so disappointed! There's just so much disgust and anger that while supporters in blue states are being pepper sprayed, abused, kidnapped, murdered.... HOUSE DEMOCRATS can't stand together this one time to stop the expansion of Trump's personal army??

Adam, you were in Congress. You know how this works. The Senate Dems got real concessions on ICE funding, oversight, and training provisions in this bill. These folks are in tight districts - Golden won by a couple thousand votes. Leadership didn't want to risk these seats to "open borders" ads.

D's were hearing a great deal from their constituents, as Leader Jeffries reminded the caucus earlier. (Not all constituents think alike, and most of the 7 Yea's are in tippy districts.) FWIW, the measure passes even if all D's vote Nay. Speaker Mike had 4 more R's available but Not Voting.

Or they did hear from their constituents. All of thse folks are in swing districts and won by narrow margins. They were allowed to vote yes because in thier districts a no vote could be one less Democrat in congress next year.

It’s a MAGA district she flipped twice. Barely. Read her statement. I wish they all voted no- but from what I read about the district- she probably did listen to her constituents.

That is the excuse! But the math is clear. 214Nay-213Yea would block it. Yes it could shutdown the govt also. And yes ICE has other funding also. But the D is lying when they say they couldn't have the votes. They can argue that the vote is ineffective - but lying about numbers isn't right!

I’m obviously going to look into this a bit more. If it’s funding for the agencies as noted….why the disconnect in what the democrats are telling us. Confusion reigns. Again. I appreciate the info! Thank you.

I’ve been hesitant to harshly judge democratic leadership because they simply have no power. But this is the only power they effectively wield and they completely failed the moment. Throw them all out. Every member of leadership and every yes vote. We may have to shave some heads when this is done.

3 are blue dog Dems. The rep in my state flipped a ruby red MAGA district two times. Attack the GOP who run the gov. The dems could not have stoped this even if they all voted against. Given you were a rep- I bet you know this. F**k the GOP

Imagine what a punch in the face this felt like to every protester, volunteer, food bank, car pool, organizer and those protecting their neighbors. Democrats voting to fund, using our tax payer dollars? If we wanted to pay for our own abuse we could hire them privately…it’s all so ludicrous

Might not have passed if the majority of republicans didn’t vote for it, you’re a republican, shouldn’t you call them out also…..oh right, you don’t have a set to do so

Fuck! This was the only leverage we had left and all these "vote yes" Democrats are retarded dipshits. They voted for MORE Gestapo? My friend keeps telling me Reps and Dems are all the same. I push back and then this bullshit happens. No more money for any of the assholes. My wallet is shut.

220 congress members voted for a police state today. Every citizen is a potential target. If ICE shoots you, the shooter will be protected by tje government and you will be labeled as a domestic terrorist without any investigation. Congratulations, call your representative and praise them.

Dem leadership is so afraid of making a mistake that they're paralyzed. That's why they supported Trump in the 2015 primaries; they thought that they wouldn't have to do anything for him to destroy the Republican party. Let him make all the mistakes and they can avoid leading. They haven't learned.

Why would 7 Democrats vote for a bill that includes additional funding to support Homeland Security, the Pentagon, and other federal agencies, INCLUDING a huge sum that goes directly to ICE? They need to be voted out of office! This is shocking and highly disturbing...yes, it's also insane!

Their donors did ok those votes. They don't work for US they work for their donors interest. And discourse and war allows the markets to make them more money. Chaos is cash.

Of course, if #Dems all voted No, maybe Andy Harris would've been sufficiently pressured to vote Yes. Who knows, as #Democratic leadership didn't allow the possibility in the first place @Highlights @Followers
