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.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

Covering this stuff tactically & reactively, focusing on "is this legal?" & "can he do this?" & "how will it work?" is important, but really beside the point. Enough. He's imposing fascism at home & destroying our most essential pillars of national security & world order abroad. The rest is noise.
