Because @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social refused to whip the votes for this, the bill to fund ICE moves forward. He has to go.
ICE is a taxpayer funded agency built on family separation, racial profiling, abuse, and lies. Cruelty is carried out in our name.
Democrats who still voted to fund it:
•Davis (NC-01)
•Cuellar (TX-28)
•Gillen (NY-04)
•Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03)
•Gonzalez (TX-34)
•Golden (ME-02)
•Suozzi (NY-03)

Trump used the US military to steal Venezuela's oil and then sell that oil for $500 million. Trump will be keeping that money for himself in a Qatari bank with no oversight or accountability.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Corporations don’t pay enough to feed you and your family, so you use SNAP.
Then he punishes you for using SNAP instead of taking on the companies that don’t pay you what you’re worth.
We sometimes forget Trump is just an asshole boss. He always finds a way to blame workers.
