Saying you failed and apologizing now is worthless.

Primary this guy and the other six that voted for this. None of these guys are people that we should be tolerating in the Democratic party with this kind of morality, callousness for human life, and such short sighted vision.

    This is the same guy who said Mamdani and AOC should leave the party, blamed trans people for Harris’s loss, and who endorsed Cuomo rather than the Democratic nominee in the NYC mayoral election. I’m sure he’s learned his lesson and will do better the next time.

    He’s trying to save face, he would gladly support increases to ice funding once Democrats become the majority party again. And we all have faith that Chuck Schumer is going to find just enough votes in the Senate to ensure that it passes.

    That exact same vote were to come up and Democrats were the majority party. It would have passed with nearly full Democrat support. They cannot be trusted

      Jeffries didn’t “whip” the bill, allowing moderates and front-line Democrats to vote their conscience, including Henry Cuellar (Texas), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Wash.), Don Davis (N.C.), and Tom Suozzi (N.Y.).

      Jeffries also had a part in it.

        Not whipping the bill may have been a blessing to help expose the worst democrats. The bills don’t cut ICE funding, so they make little difference. However, those incumbents ironically gave their constituents more ammo to primary them the fuck out.

    He failed at not getting outted. He’s only sorry cause his name is now on a list of Dems to replace.

    "I’m so sorry I’m being held accountable"😭

    You don’t get to say you messed up. You had more than enough evidence to see what ICE was doing and you still voted yes.

    Didn’t ICE already killed a bunch of people before the Minnesota ones?

    According to this Guardian article, 25 people died in ICE custody in 2025. 7 people died in December alone. Was he not aware of these deaths when he voted to give them more money? What a fucking monster.

    Seems to be the general consensus for every single fucking thing we try to do to oppose this regime… one way or another, key morons that were told over and fucking over that a particular item would be a major issue, they cross the god damn aisle and only then regret it after it’s too late. They just keep giving this regime the power and strength it needs to deem them obsolete. They just put the damn gun to their own heads and plant a bomb in the way out to take us all with them.

      Because it’s all performative. It’s just lip service. Tom Suozzi and these others don’t give a shit, they just want to remain in power. I despise the DNC almost as much as the RNC and MAGA.

        The down voters need to wake up. Just because the DNC was the lesser of two evils, doesn’t mean that they haven’t been a deliberate stumbling block too.
