Everyone should be furious at these Democrats for voting to fund ICE, but the real culprit is Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
He refused to pressure his members to vote against ICE. He quite literally chose not to lead. Pathetic.

Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding - The American Prospect
While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.

Idk where this brings us. China is already weaponizing its green revolution and will dominate the 2nd half of the 21st c, among other things, w/ a cultural narrative of climate leadership.
Is 🇨🇳 the climate champion we deserve? Probably.
I’m still on the fence on whether it‘s the champion we need.

Finally, it is a good example why the current European Parliament is so unpredictable - majorities are much tighter, and thus even a few rebels can decide a vote. Here the failure of the centre left and centre right parties to keep their rebels in check were decisive.

A key part of the struggle against encroaching authoritarianism is to reject rather than perpetuate the Trumpist assertions of absolute power, to push back against the notion that resistance is futile – that MAGA is inevitably marching towards triumph.

The Canadian Liberals are not 'challenging economic orthodoxy' either and the issue with this Labour government isn't that they aren't, it is that they have wishful thinking on spending and are, in fact, challenging economic orthodoxy on growth and migration.
