jeffries has to go.

fucking dems should be primaried

Dems need someone like Jared Moskowitz or Eric Swalwell who can rip the MAGAt bastards and do it with a smile on their face. I would add AOC and Jasmine Crockett however we all understand about the current state of sexism and racism in America when 6 million Biden voters couldn't even turn out for Kamala Harris.

just kidding

They fund it. They own it.

A certain group loves to scold DUers for questioning Democratic strategy or for voicing doubt about how Dems are handling Trump.

"What do you expect them to do?" ask the scolds. "They're the minority."

Well, for starters, they could vote "No" on every piece of pro-Trump legislation that comes up.

Dems don't want to look weak on law-enforcement? Well great; now they look strongly pro-Gestapo.


History will not be kind, nor should it be.

Jeffries wants to make sure they can get re-elected so lets them vote they way they feel they need to. They suck but I can understand the strategy.

“But it’s worth it because my district leans red.”

"Sucks to be you though! Keep your head down and hopefully your head won't get bashed in"

Jared Golden isn’t running again. And Cuellar is a disgrace

I've been thinking about the "centrist dems" a lot lately, and in the present time, I consider the description an oxymoron.

I have been removed from his district in the new map. But he is currently my rep. I will admit he is better than a Republican but he is still a major disappointment.

The area has been getting a huge influx of Hispanic people and the usual workers there are not happy about being 'shown up' on the job site.

I am thinking that this is why he voted the way that he did.

That is my home area as well. It has historically been a blue area, even as the rest of the state drowns in red.

Lets hope the people there want to remain that way.

Oh, keeping America 'safe' from brown people.

Yet another opportunity to stand against the outrageous actions of this regime squandered, all on account of a few Democratic chickenshits. Thanks for nothing. Jeffries needs to be replaced, preferably next week. Keep a list of these turncoats, and when the next ICE atrocity inevitably happens, let them hear from you---the blood is on their hands.

All I can think is that maybe they want more ice chaos heading into November. Now they are accomplices.

No court, no politician, no executive or legislative branch is going to save us. The world will not save us.

We need to save ourselves if we hope to survive and ever reform something resembling a democracy.

Is too high of price to pay for freedom. Peace.

As to “They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement,” Golden is not running for re-election
What is he afraid of?

…give us a far more worthy Dem representative?

Like I expect from American Prospect and Mediaite

"Republican majority passes budget and its Minority Leaders fault!"

Guess what, had he whipped, Republicans had 4 more votes from reps not there they could have used to pass it. Stopping it from passing the house was literally impossible.

Blaming Democrats when we dont even have power to stop anything is just a quiet way to support Trump.

camp can make the argument that even Democratic Mexican Congresspersons support a harsh immigration policy.

Gonzalez was born on September 4, 1967, in Corpus Christi, Texas.His father was a merchant seaman who served in the Korean War. His mother was born and raised in Mexico.
On June 4, 1988, Kristina Marie Gluesenkamp Perez was born as Kristina Marie Pérez in Harris County, Texas.Her father immigrated from Mexico.
Cuellar was born in Laredo, Texas. Both of his parents were Mexican-American. His father, Martin Siller Cuellar Sr. (1926–2019), was born in Tamaulipas, Mexico, and immigrated to the United States.His mother, the late Odilia Perez (1928–2015), was a native of Zapata, Texas.

one single vote. All those dipshits did was shed Dem and Ind votes. States with large Hispanic populations don’t like ICE. Hell, even the Cubans in Florida are pissed. How hard would it have been to say, “Until there is a transparent investigation into the death of Renee Good I will not vote for funding for ICE” How hard? Apparently impossible for 7 little shit weasels. The midterms are ours to win or lose and it seems like we are hell bent on loosing.😢

apparently into a newly assembled detention facility. It is another case of a blue city in a red state that will get no protection from the state police or national guard. These MFers are everywhere. Remember that Miller says there will be detention facilities in every state. And remember that the word "detention" is intentionally used because it literally means no laws apply. No habeas corpus. No access to lawyers. No arraignment before a judge. They can just lock you up for as long as they feel like it.

So WTF is our Dem "leadership" doing, not opposing this in the slightest?

We need new leadership in every position.

I don’t understand why elected Democrats are so afraid of supporting our own beliefs.

Reaganomics, Iraq, forgiving GOP crimes “for the good of the country.”

I fear all we have are strongly-worded letters, and reassurances that “God is in the throne.”

Until we have leadership willing to fight, we will continue our 45-year desert-wandering, I fear.

Jefferies and Schumer's mealy mouse ways of leading need to go the way of the dodo. People want you to fight for them not give up because it's a little rough.

We need a new Pelosi and get rid of Jeffries. He's a weak ass just like Schumer. When will Democrats wake up and pick someone who has extreme courage and the ability to marshal his members. Nancy had the skills, but Jeffries and Schumer don't.

All of them are traitors. They should have whipped the vote. They are not dems. They are enabling assholes. Jefferies is too weak. Doesn't speak up when needed. Schumer in the Senate. Needs to be booted from leadership too. He probably won't do much to stop this shit.

Because only one Dem would vote for the bill. To ask our representatives to stand up for our lives was playing into a “conspiracy” that Dems aren’t perfect. Voters like that are also part of the problem.

Those seven don't turn coat, it fails 214-213.

Suggests to me that "failure to whip" is not what went on here.

The bottom line is they voted to deprive people of their human rights, no matter how they choose to spin it, or the reasons they gave why "they had no choice."

Had these 7 dems voted against?

Dems finally hold the power and they gave it to the Nazis again?
