If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.
NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207

7 Democrats voted YES on the bill:
- Jared Golden
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
- Henry Cuellar
- Tom Suozzi
- Laura Gillen
- Don Davis
- Vicente Gonzalez

One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.

the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear.

do not offer it to them.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

It's also not true that RFK Jr has identified a real problem but proposes the wrong solutions.

The "problem" he's identified is that Americans are unhealthier than we've ever been (false) and that prescription drugs are making kids sad, autistic and trans (deranged).
I am really tired of these "well, you gotta hand it to them..." pieces.

It is hard to find anything accurate in the MAHA report, and the quality is appalling.

They are correct that the evidence supports that a far greater fraction of Americans' diet comprises hyperpalatable ultraprocessed foods.

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight:
•Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid
•Gutting $500 billion from Medicare
•Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance)
•Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

ICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited).

It’s a sign to resist their abuses more, not less.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion.

But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings.

That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025.

We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.
