Every representative who voted yes voted for more brutalization of our neighbors, more kidnapping of our children, more trampling of our rights, and more murder from this government.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

This is on Jeffries and Democratic house leadership. People are being murdered. Small children are being snatched.
Am aware that with only Massie breaking GOP ranks it passes regardless. But on grounds of history and morality alone, you whip these seven weasels for a unanimous caucus.

IMO PM Carney's opening speech is a must watch.

He lays out what is happening and the solutions.
"this is not sovereignty, it's the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination".
