The $64.4 billion bill, which includes roughly $10 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), passed the House by a vote of 220-207. All but one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.), voted for the measure.
The seven Democrats who sided with Republicans were Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Don Davis (N.C.), Tom Suozzi (N.Y.) and Vicente Gonzalez (Texas).
Why is Suozzi even in the democratic party. Isn’t he the one who said that DSA members didn’t belong in his democratic party and they should go make their own while he is the one voting against the party, the people, and the constitution?
Where was Jeffries in all of this?
At least they’re outting themselves for whenever a reckoning comes, I just worry they’ll be able to live out their lives before that.
I don’t even blame them. I mean I do blame them, but I feel like it’s pretty obvious making them into a target won’t fix anything.
People usually rationalize their own corruption because if they believe if they didn’t do it somebody else would. That’s not an excuse or justification for what they do, but it’s also not incorrect or irrational.
If you remove one cog, it will just get replaced with another. In this case, it will also be used to help the machine generate it’s victimhood narrative and propaganda, which then is used to justify the bullshit they’ve preemptively laid out in NSPM-7.
That’s why they even hire these people in the first place. They’re basically paid scapegoats so that the machine can always carry on while society is focused on punishing a cog.
I really wouldn’t be surprised to learn that both Charlie Kirk and that CEO of United healthcare were murders for hire carried out by the same networks of wealthy shadowy conservatives. Neither of those murders actually changed anything, except increasing the likelihood of more reactionary violence.
Two cogs are gone, but they have already been replaced. Two men (probably patsys who believed what they were doing would make a difference) are in jail for attacking pieces of the machine, but the machine is more powerful than ever because it now can justify its own propaganda and preemptive crackdown against the people it antagonizes. Make sense?
AKA the usual shitstains.
Seven Democrats who no longer want their jobs. If you live in their districts, remember their names and do not vote for them in the primaries, or the general election if they make it that far.
Vote them out or guillotine them if that doesn’t work.
Interesting thing about Glusencamp-Perez is that she replaced a GOP anti-vaxxer that voted to impeach Trump.
Her 2024 opponent was a Libertarian who had supported Bernie in 2020 but then ran as a Republican.
In tired of the options being:
Turbo fascist
Fascist that ‘cares’ and
Closeted fascist
It almost feels like some districts are purchased by people with a lot of money to burn in order to give people the illusion of choice, and that way no matter which side of candidate wins, we all lose.
This may be a controversial thing to say, because I know a lot of people feel that regulations and public oversight stand in the way of progress (while simultaneously demanding more accountability?), but it kinda seems like allowing uncapped shadowy and untraceable super pac money into politics, has made things so much worse.
And while I do feel there are certainly cases where a public-private partnership could benefit society (For instance, publicly funded research to develop a vaccine during a pandemic then partnering with a private company that already has the capacity to manufacture that vaccine for millions of people, while being monitored for compliance with federal regulations and guidelines, could be a really helpful thing to have during a pandemic), it seems that many private industries just kind of used the opportunity to get their foot in the door and demand that they be allowed to operate free of regulations and oversight, in return for the “burden” of saving humanity, (and profiting greatly) when tragedy strikes.
One might argue in response, that even when the private industry has been called upon to help the American public, private industry wasn’t the “savior” of America. They were simply returning the gift (and keep in mind, still somehow profiting while returning that fucking gift) which very was very generously provided to them by the U.S. government allowing them to rake in trillions of untaxed profits over several decades, with way less oversight and accountability than should have ever been legal (Sackler family).
Controlled opposition.
Democratic Party should rename to Republican Lite
They used to at least act like they gave a fuck about us, but now that the Republicans are so far out to lunch they can do whatever they want without repercussions because people will vote “blue no matter who” despite being a different face of the same shit coin. We are truly fucked.
Fun facts about 7 bootlickers who hate America and love terrorism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Cuellar
A conservative Democrat…He was pardoned by President Donald Trump in December 2025. His criminal trial had been scheduled to start in April 2026. 🖕
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Golden
A self-described progressive conservative… Golden previously served as a co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition. 🖕 (Also progressive conservative is a bullshit concept made up by people like Peter Thiel)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Gluesenkamp_Perez
She is a co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition. 🖕
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Gillen
In 2025, Gillen was among 46 House Democrats who joined all Republicans to vote for the Laken Riley Act. 🖕
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Davis_(North_Carolina_politician)
In 2024, Davis invited 109-year-old Cassie Smith from Battleboro, North Carolina, to attend the State of the Union address.[33] The following month, he was the sole Democratic co-sponsor of a Republican-led bill by representatives Greg Murphy and Brett Guthrie that would limit Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices 🖕
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Suozzi
On January 1, 2025, Suozzi wrote an op-ed in The New York Times calling for Democrats to work with the incoming Trump administration and advocating for political compromise on parts of Trump’s agenda.[66] In January 2025, Suozzi was elected Democratic co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus.[67] Later that month, he was one of 46 House Democrats who joined Republicans to vote for the Laken Riley Act. 🖕
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Gonzalez_(American_politician)
Gonzalez is considered a conservative Democrat and serves as co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition. During his tenure in Congress, he has participated in bipartisan negotiations and has, on several occasions, voted with Republicans on legislation, including budget reconciliation, firearms, and transgender-related policies 🖕
We need to stop using the term “Blue dog” and replace it with something more suitable and descriptive like “collaborator,” “DINO,” or “Republican.”
Thank you for the receipts.
The problem with the Democratic Party is it’s full of Republicans.
they only allow people like AOCs and bernies of the congress in thier inner circle, to take attention off themselves.
Those of you who can do math will recognize that the vote would have failed if they all voted against it.
Yep, and it would’ve failed by 1 vote.
220 - 7 = 213
207 + 7 = 214
Establishment democrats only care about people richer than us. Stop voting for them.
These 7 aren’t even pretending to want what we want, at least the rest of the dems lie to us.
they know they are either retiring or immune to re-election this year and '28
Democrats you gotta primary these folks.
Disaster funding doesn’t mean a damn thing when you get murdered and the murderers get away with it
